The Idiot without the NOTAM

"Do you have the NOTAM?" "No." "Then I suggest you go back to the airport and get it." He could have gone to ANY airport that I've ever seen and printed the NOTAM from DUATS, etc... It's not like he would have had to go all the way back to PA. He probably departed without the correct procedures as well. G |

The Idiot without the NOTAM
I sent this email to the two FBO's at Latrobe airport:
You may have a customer in a Cessna 172 N9553A who recently flew into Oshkosh for the EAA convention. He has been the subject of significant debate on the internet regarding his lack of preparation or knowledge of the appropriate notams and approach procedures. The newsgroup rec.aviation.piloting has most of the thread. The N number as well as the corporate owner of the plane have been identifed on the web as well. Here is some of the recorded communication for his interest: http://tinyurl.com/lu6uu He may be interested in listening to this as well as reading the thread Hopefully we will all have learned from this experience. |

Wow! That's incredible! I couldn't figure out what this long thread was about until I just listened to it. It's so bad, it almost sounds like satire - someone making a recording trying to sound as bad as possible. That is just awful, and totally embarrassing - it makes all genav look bad. http://tinyurl.com/lu6uu I think ATC helps out the odd person, or two, or three, "on frequency" because they know there are other unsure lurkers (in the air) who will, also, be helped by having this info.

"Morgans" wrote in message ... I don't think you realize the inner workings of the ATC system at OSH. What makes you think that? Do you think you realize the inner workings of the ATC system at OSH? Have you ever done the OSH controlling? Yes, for nine years, from Aurora Illinois. They have plenty of people spotting, and on stanby, that making a phone call would be small potatoes. Why they gonna call? |

If you need a more permeant location, we would need to find a better home for the clip. I have webspace I could use, if needed. -- Peter |

The C-54 requested to taxi to Baslers. ATC queried as to the reason. The response, "We just had our chart sucked out the window, so we need to get another one." |

The owner's name may be found using Google. If you do a Google search
on the street address from the registration name, a PDF file is found that contains a statement the guy made during some airport commision meeting. He describes himself as owning a number of aircraft and being in aviation for 25 years so he may very well be the owner but not the operator. His initials are V.S.

It sucks having to look up at the last minute an airport's frequencies in the AOPA airport guide or AFD instead of just seeing it on the map... |
