Like the arrival chart available on the Garmin Pilot app last year for EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, Garmin has created a SmartCharts arrival for the Sun ‘n Fun Aerospace Expo this week in Lakeland, Florida.

Although the Lake Parker VFR arrival is somewhat simpler, the Sun ‘n Fun organizers and FAA published a 28-page notam outlining the arrival procedure. The SmartCharts arrival, which is available for Garmin Pilot subscribers, simplifies the depiction of the arrival and allows the user to select a flight path depending on which transition is assigned by ATC and the runway for landing at Lakeland Linder International Airport (KLAL).
