Has anyone heard when will the 2016 NOTAM be available? I haven't found it in the EAA AirVenture or FAA websites.

That's interesting. Usually it comes out around the end of April. Since it wasn't in the April 28 book, the next opportunity for publication (on the FAA side) is May 26.
The 2016 AirVenture NOTAM is awaiting a few changes by FAA, hopefully to be resolved in the next few days.Originally Posted by TeenDoc
While the basic VFR arrival procedure will be much the same as in prior years, there are many changes throughout the document, so you'll certainly want to get and read the 2016 NOTAM when it is available. Among the changes are radio frequencies, the taxiway layout on the north side of Wittman Airport, runway markings, and VFR transponder use.
An EAA webinar on June 8th will highlight all of the NOTAM changes and include tips on flying into AirVenture.
Glad you're making plans for the event -- see you at Oshkosh!

Thanks for the update Fred. I was beginning to get nervous. By this time every year I usually have a bunch to distribute to our Cessnas 2 Oshkosh pilots in Juneau.
The 2016 AirVenture NOTAM is now online at www.eaa.org/en/airventure/eaa-fly-in-flying-to-oshkosh/eaa-airventure-oshkosh-notam
A link to order the free, printed-booklet version of the NOTAM will be available in the next few days.
How about the FAA change it from turn transponder to Standby at 30nm, to leave transponders On so that we can all see each other on the FAA mandated ADS-B so that the 13000 of us using see and avoid don't bump into each other. Even leaving Transponders On till RIPON would be a significant improvement in SA at that funnel.Ted
Yes, Ted, I was expecting that change this year, too. Not there, huh? I'd like to see the reason for that rule, with some quantitative analysis, not just "too many, it'd saturate their radar." My guess is it's to make IFRs more readily visible on the radar screen, since their transponders have to be left on.
