Club Homepage Forums The Cessna 150-152 Fly-In Fly-In Questions OSH after CWI anyone ?

Geoff, both you and Samira study the notam, make sure you have a paper copy on board with you and make sure you both keep your eyes out the cockpit for other traffic. Don't get too overwhelmed with the youtube videos, but watch them since they are helpful. From the two years I went into OSH, there was a few planes that didn't really follow the notam, you have to watch out for those people. My first year going into OSH, I flew with John Trolinger who was a life saver since he had done it before. Talk with John at the cessna flyin. See the below video with ATC audio that I made that may help some:


Also, you may be on the ground for a while taxing, so make sure to lean your mixture to avoid fouling your plugs.

Here is another video of my second year's departure that you may find helpful:

Don’t be stressed. Be confident because you have studied the NOTAM and have good skills. Still not so sure? Take notes. Make cheat cards for each of the approaches. And the holding areas.

My experience is earlier in the day and earlier in the week is less traffic. ATC suggests arriving at the transition point at 7am. I would avoid Thur-Sun arrivals unless you MUST see the weekend show, but be prepared.
