I've never been to OSH, but based on what I've seen at other places the
FAA can't dream of having the manpower available to have a chat with
every pilot that screws up the arrival.

Considering the number of planes that fly into there during such a
short timespan, I think they do pretty damn good... I've flow in and
out of there 3 times so far... A little research (i.e. read the
****in' NOTAM beforehand) and things go pretty good... Be familiar
enough with the various approaches that you can handle the case where
they change approaches on you and you'll do fine... Nothing quite like
the bit of adrenaline rush of being in the flare and then the
controllers asking you to switch to the parallel runway... Oh yeah,
you should also be familiar with your plane so that you can handle
these impromptu diversions...


AMEN, Brother!!!!
