NFL Draft and Aviation (Part 3)
For Part 1 &2 please click here.
TFRs and NOTAMS are in effect throughout the week and ATC services may be limited during periods of heavy flight traffic. The FAA previously published Special Air Traffic Procedures for April 23-26 (local time). The airlines have increased their services to Green Bay and Appleton to handle the influx of visitors, and we also have an upsurge in General Aviation activity. Pilotsmith recently published an expected air traffic schedule during the NFL draft. Based on information from the FAA, it appears we will have moderate to heavy air traffic volume on most days until 4 p.m. on Sunday.
