IFR to Oshkosh without an IFR reservation
I left it too late to get a reservation. Can I just file to FAH VOR and
then proceed VFR to Ripon and join the conga line? -- Paul Tomblin http://blog.xcski.com/ SELECT * FROM users WHERE clue 0 0 rows returned |

No. *You won't be allowed to enter the RIPON sector without an IFR reservation. What is the RIPON sector? Per the NOTAM the IFR reservation would be required for the "Oshkosh Area" which is defined "within 30NM of the OSH VORTAC)". FAH is 33nm from OSH. Couldn't he file to the Sheboygan airport (KSBM) and then stay at a suitable altitude and cancel? After all a reservation isn't required for KSBM per the NOTAM. But if FAH doesn't work for him, would BJB (38nm)? What about BAE(53nm)? Couldn't he file for the airports for those VOR's as well? Obviously, all requirements for filing for a given airport are required, i.e. alternate, etc. visibility, approaches, etc. But we're assuming widespread VFR in this case. I'm coming froming from a slightly different direction, but my thoughts were to file to JVL and then cancel and scoot on the rest of the way VFR. Or Heck, maybe I'll file to KUNU (34nm) and just cancel in the air prior to landing. I only ask because your interpretation doesn't make sense. If FAH is in the RIPON sector then he woudln't be able to file to KSBM either or require a reservation for the airport. And he doesn't per the NOTAM. I suppose they could put a ground stop on all aircraft heading to any WI airport, but I've never heard of that for GA aircraft. Brian N9093K |

What is the RIPON sector? The RIPON sector is the airspace that was transferred from Chicago ARTCC to Milwaukee TRACON last February. It includes OSH, SBM, and FLD and goes from the surface to 13,000 MSL. Per the NOTAM the IFR reservation would be required for the "Oshkosh Area" which is defined "within 30NM of the OSH VORTAC)". FAH is 33nm from OSH. Couldn't he file to the Sheboygan airport (KSBM) and then stay at a suitable altitude and cancel? After all a reservation isn't required for KSBM per the NOTAM. Probably not. The RIPON Low sector has 6000 MSL to the surface so he'd have to be at 7000 or higher, but aircraft inbound to GRB, ATW, and MTW are routed over FAH descending to 7000. But if FAH doesn't work for him, would BJB (38nm)? What about BAE(53nm)? No, regardless what is filed aircraft are going to be given one ot the IFR preferred routes and BJB and BAE ain't on 'em. Couldn't he file for the airports for those VOR's as well? Obviously, all requirements for filing for a given airport are required, i.e. alternate, etc. visibility, approaches, etc. But we're assuming widespread VFR in this case. Of course, that would give him a clearance limit outside of the RIPON sector. I'm coming froming from a slightly different direction, but my thoughts were to file to JVL and then cancel and scoot on the rest of the way VFR. Or Heck, maybe I'll file to KUNU (34nm) and just cancel in the air prior to landing. KUNU would be fine, that's as far as you can go from the southwest IFR without a reservation. I only ask because your interpretation doesn't make sense. If FAH is in the RIPON sector then he woudln't be able to file to KSBM either or require a reservation for the airport. And he doesn't per the NOTAM. Trust me, this is the 25th EAA convention I've worked as a controller. Nine at Chicago ARTCC in the area that includes OSH and sixteen at GRB TRACON. Oshkosh bound IFR aircraft without a reservation don't get into that sector with a promise to cancel short of OSH, they're issued a clearance limit outside of the sector. |

Thanks for your further input. But it still remains that he could file to an airport outside the 30nm range of the OSH vortac, descend below some altitude by that clearance limit, and then cancel IFR and go to RIPON and beyond VFR. I think thats what the original poster wanted to do by filing to FAH. Obviously if the field is IFR or you can't do the VFR arrival due to weather then that won't help. Curious, which facility are you working this year? I'm sure it would be too busy and too varied to actually end up talking to you on frequency, but appreciate the help you've given. Brian |

The NOTAM states: "In previous years, air traffic services in the area surrounding Oshkosh were provided by Chicago Center. Early in 2008, Milwaukee Approach Control assumed responsibility for this area. A reminder: you must have a reservation number to enter this Milwaukee Approach Control airspace under IFR." Curious, which facility are you working this year? Green Bay TRACON. I'm sure it would be too busy and too varied to actually end up talking to you on frequency, but appreciate the help you've given. Actually, today was the lightest pre-convention Saturday I've ever seen. |

Why does the NOTAM say you only need a reservation within 30nm of OSH, and FAH (and SBM) is 33nm from OSH? -- Paul Tomblin http://blog.xcski.com/ "Many of the places I've worked had RAID 666.
