An Oshkosh preview with Pilot Dan, PilotKent, and Pilot Mike along with returning special guest Rick Durden, aviation attorney and author of AvWeb's "The Pilot's Lounge" column, and Pilot Ron, who will be flying to Oshkosh from Palo Alto, California.
Rick has written a series of columns, available from AVweb, on "Surviving Oshkosh." Pilot Kent has put together a simple flow chart for the Fisk arrival NOTAM. Rick identifies the biggest risk to flying into Oshkosh are planes going too slow on their final approach, forcing planes behind to go slower than they should, causing a stall. Pilot Dan asks for a walkthrough of the VFR approach, during the busiest arrival period.
Pilot Ron asks about getting an IFR reservation and for any tips on surviving the crowd or 800,000 people for a week, once you get on the ground.
Rick comments on camping on the field. Be prepared for sometimes oppressive hot and humid weather and occasional violent thunderstorms. Mike has some tips on routes and parking for those driving in.
Rick and Mike review a list of items to have, from Rick's Survival Guide.
