Biggest bonehead moves flying into OSH?

An out landing is not necessary for those who have the NOTAM, and have read (and understand) it. The idea of requiring that the NOTAM be on board is what needs to be enacted, and enforced. It's not the possession of the NOTAM, nor reading it that counts. It's the flying in the last few miles that matters. So how about a panel of judges evaluating everyone's approach and landing perfomance and assessing appropriate fines? Just kidding... Just kidding... I am amazed at some of the suggestions here (this and other threads). Do we really expect ATC to turn away someone for not knowing the procedure? Pilot: Oshkosh tower, experimental 5678X ... uhhh ... approaching the airport ... uhhh ... from the west. Landing. ATC: Experimental 5678X, what is the third word in the second paragraph on page 5 of the NOTAM? Pilot: Huh? ATC: Experimental 5678X, fly heading 270 for 30 minutes, then resume own navigation. Pilot: But ... but I want to land at OSH. ATC: Unable. This is a *show* we're talking about. *EAA* show. They want everybody there. Including (or especially?) a guy who built his own plane in the barn and avoids airspace where talking to ATC is required. He probably doesn't even know that the NOTAM exists and for him compliance with FAR 91.103 means squinting at the sky. Having *most* pilots follow the NOTAM keeps things failry orderly and helps ATC accomodate (within limits) the others. Seems to be working quite well. 12,000 aircraft landed and took off in just few days without a major accident. - Tom |

Those with a copy of the NOTAM land runway 18, those without land
runway 90...those of you landing on runway 90 have your wallet out, your stupidity just cost you a fine. We only accept cash and major credit cards (a 4% surcharge for CC payments will be added to your fine). To bad there wasn't some way of only accepting pilots that have been briefed or have/understand the NOTAM. Some sort of reservation number which you can download a receipt of to post inside your windshield. Those without would be charged a 'failure to comply fee'; 'damn I'm dumb fee'; 'forgot follow the procedure to pull my head out of my a_ _ fee', this list could go on for ever. Even a student pilot (at least I was) is required to obtain proof of landing during a cross country. Why couldn't folks be directed to an intermediate designated stop enroute to get briefed on the NOTAM. I know Iowa City would be agreeable with this, means maybe a few more would spend the night and or purchase fuel. Those who fail to follow procedures have to stand in line to talk to the FSDO upon arrival at OSH. This procedure would also help prevent all those who arrive after the airshow starts and are forced to orbit or land elsewhere..."You are aware that OSH closes for arrivals in fifteen minutes, you can either stay here or land at an alternate...whatcha gonna do?" |

I agree with you Tom that this is a show. However this show continues
to expand in the number of aircraft that attend. What eventually will happen is a chain of events that result in a fatality accident over the city of Oshkosh. Years ago a jet crashed into a neighborhood near the field, this raised concerns about the amount of air traffic. If two airplanes collide in the pattern and plummet into an area such as a shopping center, these concerns will have negative effects on EAA. Add in the number of new inexperienced pilots that will begin to attend will compound this issue. All we want to see is a better way to ensure pilots are aware of the procedures to make flying in/out of this event as safe as possible. If everyone is on the same page, things will continue to be as safe as they have been. As was discussed before the show, go out and slow fly your aircraft...know how to do it! Perfect sense to do especially considering the mix of performance levels of aircraft and pilots in the pattern. It amazes me how many color blind pilots there are...blue Cessna land on the green dot....huh? I learned to fly at a military aero club. The rules then were you had to have an endorsement to do certain things or go certain places with the clubs aircraft. Maybe pilots attending need an endorsement to attend EAA. Something as simple as stopping at designated fields to review and be briefed on the NOTAM. This is a win win situation...you get to review the NOTAM and take a potty break before you get tied up in traffic. |

That is a tradition rooted in antiquity, but not in regulation.

Robert Not that I am aware of. But if they aren't viewing the website, will a video inspire them to do so.But I like your thinking. What about sending everyone a DVD with procedures and video on arrival procedures. They could add other things as well. Like a briefing from the FAA, NTSB; show schedules, highlights from the previous year. Charge a token fee to cover postage an production. Or see if a sponsor will offset the costs allowing them to advertise on it. EAA could do a mass mailing 30 days prior to the event. |

Why not have something that is downloadable on the web site that hass all those things and actually gets out and flies an arrival etc. That is done all the time in the real world. I think of OSH like in Part 121 where you have complex special and complex simple (etc) airports. To go into them you have to have some pre training and today that is done at most airlines by watching a video, some you can even get it off the web. Robert |
