If you’ve been manually building your own arrival into Oshkosh via Lat/Lon coordinates and you have a Garmin avionics, you’re in luck because the FISK arrival is now a selectable arrival in the Garmin Navigation Database. All FISK arrival transitions and runways are selectable on Garmin avionics, Garmin Pilot, and SmartCharts when updated to the newest 2507 database release, allowing for precise navigation along the FISK arrival to Oshkosh this year.
- While the FISK arrival includes a few VFR waypoints that are in typical navigation databases, it has never been fully coded as part of an official navigation database with the full detailed route – until now. That route also includes details such as flying ‘the shoreline of Puckaway Lake’ and ‘flying between Fisk Avenue and the Microwave Tower’ when those transitions are selected.
- Pilots can select any of the transitions on the FISK arrival, as well as runway transitions to guide them along the route depicted in the Oshkosh Notice.
- The arrival is available as a procedure in Garmin Navigation Databases, Garmin Pilot and SmartCharts. Pilots should still reference the Oshkosh Notice for full preflight planning.
- To get the latest 2507 cycle update or purchase the Garmin Navigation Database, pilots should visit flyGarmin.com. To purchase Garmin Pilot or sign up for a SmartCharts free trial, pilots should visit Garmin.com/GarminPilot.
