Practice for OSH Arrival NOW, please!

"Jay Honeck" wrote

Every year some people decide to fly into the world's busiest airspace
with little or no pre-flight preparation. Last year (2006) was the
worst I've seen, mostly due to an accident that closed the field and
caused a HUGE traffic jam in the holds around the lakes -- but also
because a surprising number of pilots simply didn't know what the hell
they were doing, because they had not read the Oshkosh Arrival
Procedure NOTAM.


Once over MUT I executed an EXTREMELY tight pattern to a spot landing
on the 1000-foot marker, simulating a landing on the green (or orange)
dot at OSH.

Don't forget to practice flying down the runway at 20 feet, simulating being
told to not touchdown, and fly down to the next colored dot.

Hey, I might have just gotten a ride in a 172 for OSH this year. I may make it,
after all!
