OSHKOSH CARAVAN
 

 

Revised July 14, 1999 to show taxi sequence to runway 3, runway 21 and runway 31.

Notes from Wayne Grip:

The following maps and digital images of Madison and Oshkosh were produced using a digital stereoplotter from 1998 / 1:40,000 scale vertical aerial photography. The images and maps were rectified, scaled, and registered in our mapping system using ground control features visible on USGS 1:24,000 scale maps. The images are considerably more accurate in positioning and much higher in resolution than the sectional chart.

The original task, at the request of fellow list member Dave Piehler, was to help identify and count the available tiedown locations at MSN, and this has been accomplished. However, additional products were produced because I believe that the stereoplotter-generated materials would also be useful navigation aids to the Mooney caravan pilots while taxing to the active runway, identifying visual reference points to overfly while departing MSN, landing at OSH, and finally taxing to camping.

These images were produced from screen shots of raster and vector images at 1024 x 768 resolution. The entire project is setup in ArcView which is a geographic information system. The images and maps will be loaded on my laptop and can be used in the Madison briefing (by running ArcView) and displayed at a much higher resolution than these screen shots while using a video projector.
