I sure hope you show live everyone coming in with the ATC feed. I saw that one year and LOVED it!!

Do u know when the cams will be up and running I look forward to that

Question: the correct landing method for Runway 18R shown in this video seems to contradict the NOTAM? The video suggest start base turn at the blue dot. However the NOTAM says: "Be on base by ATC tower or BLUE DOT". Which one is the correct way to turn base? In another video on the EAA AirVenture website, a tail dragger aircraft was instructed to turn base TOWARD the PINK dot, and the base to final turn appears to be well below the 200 ft suggested by this video. How should the landing be performed if we are instructed to turn base early?

The instructions when landing on 27 are almost always to stay "inside the gravel pit," which puts you on a downwind about 1/2 mile from the runway. Doable, but you gotta make a continuous 30° bank turn from downwind to final, no leveling the wings on base.

Very well made! Can't wait for Airventure!

What happened to staying Inside the Gravel Pit? You show flying North or outside the gravel pit when the NOTAM instructs (and always has has instructed) to stay between the pit and the airport.

“Habit pattern” okay that term is in my toolbox

Good idea

So the key is to descend to 500 agl on the downwind and keep the downwind and base leg on the wide side...

I have to say I’m really surprised that EAA sanctioned this video. Having flown into Airventure multiple times, I can say (and I’m sure others will agree) that this video directly contradicts the NOTAM. Further, I would be concerned that people would watch this and try to emulate the “proper way” demonstrated in the video and ignore the clear instructions in the NOTAM leading to problems for ATC and/or pilots in the pattern. The approach to 18 shows a stabilized approach by beginning the Base Leg turn abeam the Blue Dot. The NOTAM clear states that you should be ON Base by the Tower or Blue Dot, not starting there. By starting later you have given the false impression that you have more distance/time for your Base turn and subsequent turn to Final. The approaches to 27 all take place outside the gravel pit (i.e. gravel pit to the right of the aircraft). This clearly contradicts the NOTAM which specifies keeping your downwind INSIDE the gravel pit (i.e. gravel pit to the LEFT of the aircraft). By flying Downwind outside the gravel pit you have given the false impression that you have more distance/time for your Base turn and subsequent turn to Final. Both of these approaches fail to mention the reality that ATC will likely be instructing pilots when to start their descents and turns. When things are busy, few (if any) approaches will look the way they are flown in this video and pilots, especially people new to Airventure, need to know that they will be flying a somewhat non-standard pattern as instructed by ATC (short approach, early turns to Base, Extended downwind, last minute changes to which Dot to land on, etc.).

My video was way better

I’m amazed the FAA allows this insanity. No way no how would I ever fly into this crapshow.
