Hash: SHA1 Jay Honeck wrote: snip Please, please, PLEASE -- if you're going to OSH this year, go out and PRACTICE SLOW FLIGHT. I can't tell you how exciting it is to get in line with folks who can't fly a steady 90 knots, and can't hold altitude -- don't let it be you! more snippage But it could have gone very differently. Don't be the guy that causes the headaches! Here is the NOTAM: http://www.airventure.org/2007/flying/notam07.pdf Read it, understand it, practice it -- and then re-read it. Have the person in the right seat read it aloud to you as you approach RIPON. If you have any questions, or don't understand something, or forget something -- LAND YOUR PLANE SOMEWHERE ELSE AND SORT IT OUT. Do NOT try to land at OSH without knowing the contents of the NOTAM, or you will put yourself and others at risk. Finally, plan on stopping in Iowa City for our Fly-In Pool Party on Saturday, July 21st (see: http://alexisparkinn.com/iowa_city_pool_party.htm ) and you'll be able to chew the fat with a few of us who have done it many times before. Then, if you're still around Sunday morning (July 22nd), join us for a loose gaggle flight into OSH. It's fun, educational, and we'll all end up parked fairly close together in the North 40! Very good post and advice, Jay, and a suggestion if you're up to it. If people do stop on their way there (which I'm pretty sure they will) and they haven't had the chance to practice this or is their first time, could you try loading up the Kiwi with dense traffic and have them practice it there? While not an absolute true representation of traffic levels, it would give them a good idea of what to expect. Just a thought...

While not an absolute true representation of traffic levels, it would give them a good idea of what to expect. Good idea. We've only started to play with settings in MS Flight Sim X (the newest version), but I'll bet there's a way to do that.
