Excellent video. Been flying my RV in since 2011. Also been volunteering at flight line ops since 2009. Talked to the chief controller this year and he said that they lost a bunch of the olds hands since Covid with many of the long time controllers retiring. That is why this past year there was at times 1 mile spacing and on Thursday afternoon the controllers did not follow the notam when things got way too crowded. Instead of using holds at the various lakes they just turned everyone out to endeavor bridge. Made a call to a buddy who briefs with the controllers daily and got it fixed for after the airshow. Expect next year better use of the dots. This past year the controllers default was (on rwy 27) to tell you to aim for the orange dot land on the green dot. They will be working on aircraft ID (my RV-8A with invasion strips was called a Cirrus), and working us in tighter next year.
Quick background: I'm retired military pilot, ATP fixed and rotary wing, 4 type ratings, CFII fixed and rotary, ATC Specialist (Marines), D6779 Expert Parachutist, built my RV-8A (REA).
Excellent. By far the most valuable video I've watched about arriving at Oshkosh, '23 will be my first Air Venture.
Great! Enjoy the ride and see ya there
It’s rare find someone expert in general, military and commercial aviation. Also good in making such a fun and great videos. Kudos to you Steve!
Grazie, Mirco!
Every one of those points is a gem. The one that I stress the most (from my radio dj days) is SPEAK CLEARLY!!! What to say, is taught plenty in training but HOW to say it, is ignored...which is a real shame.
Being a pilot, I know that pilots just love to sound pilotey, spitting out those calls like a rhyme master. Turns out, tho...that most pilots don't have a clue what they sound like on the other end of the radio. Don't rush. Be clear and concise. Use only the words you need to and speak them clearly. After all, the only reason to talk, is to be understood.
The best aircraft radios produce terrible audio so it's up to you to make your sounds...sound like words. I suggest recording yourself at home and let someone else listen to them...maybe even a non pilot. If they can understand what you say, you're golden. I hear quite a few youtube pilots who do a great job narrating, go all cliche pilot when talking on the radio.
Steve...you're not one of those. I'm guessing that the air force had precious little patience for mumbling on the radios...and it seems you got learned good. This vid should be mandatory Oshkosh viewing.
Thanks, Joe! Sounds like you're a good candidate to record an intro to my videos! I'm just inventing ways to collab with you...
This will be my first time to OSH and I'm flying without right seat eyes. Your video is BY FAR the most important video I've watched, your take is perfect for a novice like me. I'll be watching it a bunch more times before leaving home in 3 weeks.
Awesome. Sounds like you’ll be ready! Enjoy the flight and see ya there!
If you have a flight sim and Pilotedge go practice on there! July 13-16 they have a simulated Oshkosh event with the real life Oshkosh ATC working the radios on the sim.
Shoulda called me… Ida ridden along😂
@@CLEAREDDIRECT landed 36L yellow 🟡 just before noon today. No trouble light traffic.
@@CuratedPile “Welcome to the show. We’re glad you’re here.” Nice job and see ya soon!
Excellent video and excellent points. Especially liked the ADSB drool cup metaphor. Oh, and got in one piano burning when I visited my buddy in Osan in 2013, quite a time.
I've flown FISK in twice in 2 years, and I can't argue with any of your advice! Best piece of advice I have after the holding last year? HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH FUEL!!!
Right?! Thanks for vouching for the content!
Pilotedge has a simulated Oshkosh event going on the next few days! Today the 13th was the first day. The real life Oshkosh ATC are on the Sim working the radios.
It’s perfect if you have a flight sim, jump on and practice your arrivals with other pilots and live ATC from the comfort and safety of your computer chair.
I missed most of today but I’ll be on the next few days to make multiple arrivals and departures :)
I want to echo a lot of the previous comments. Headed to Osh for the first time. Been watching a ton of Fisk arrival videos. Your comments are some the best and most concise I have come across. As a retired ATC (many years LAX approach), I appreciate your shout out for the controllers. I hope I see you at the show so I can thank you personally. Sierra Hotel!
Thanks for the nice note! And thank you for keeping us safe on SoCal Approach for so long! I’m a SoCal kid originally (Go Dodgers). Enjoy Oshkosh and see ya there!
That's how I drive. Like everyone is a 16 year old smoking a blunt talking to friends and about to veer into me. Head on a swivel.
Been there/done that, three times, nowadays I make a point of flying to the most remote off airport sites (NOT one found on any CZcams vid, my own personal ones, secret) during that weekend, where the other traffic ain't there! Then, in the following days, I'll get caught up on what I missed via the internet. The best departure was with a friend's C-320, it was socked in, a low ceiling anyway, he filed IFR, and we blasted off, pretty damn amazing for this strictly VFR pilot! He set the Otto pilot up, and went to sleep, leaving me at the controls, just as we crossed the Wyoming border (he was based in Jackson Hole), it got a little bumpy, and he woke up and said, "feels like we're back in Wyoming!"
Do share! I won’t tell anybody ;) Sounds like fun adventures…
The Man.
Great insights, Steve! See you at OSH! Randy
Will you be flying the S21?
@@CLEAREDDIRECT Not painted yet. Next year for sure!
Great video, Steve!! Looking forward to flying our S-21 to OSH and meeting up!! #OSH24
Nailed it, excellent video!! - Jim Schell, OSH Airport Director ;)
Oh wow! Thanks for watching, Jim!
I’m liking this channel. Thanks for the info and encouragement!
Welcome aboard! Glad you like the content. Much more on the way!
That was absolutely excellent.
So glad you enjoyed it! Fly safe and enjoy the show if you’re going. -Steve
Great information!
Thanks! Lookin forward to meeting ya next week
Excellent video
Thank you!
Good Video
Awesome Steve Great advise!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I would like to see the Fisk arrival through a camera mounted on the bottom of the airplane so we can see the land marks, especially going from Ripon to Fisk.
Me too!
Love your take on this. Always good to hear from someone with your experience. I think too many times we tend to plan on the fly instead of on the ground.
Thank you! Yeah, pilots can really "wing it". Sorry.
Dude…great stuff!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 🤙
Great educational strategies! Someday I will get that bucket list item done, and fly my small plane to Oshkosh.
Do it! You'll be glad you did.
Hope you have fun at EAA 23. I'm not a pilot just someone that lives locally and likes watching videos of pilots arriving at OSH. I will be there not sure which day. Also a ride out to the fisk approach control and a ride to Ripon to see if I can see the flight line along Highway 44.
That must be a fun thing every year to watch everyone arrive! Thanks for watching and enjoy the show!
I`ve flown into OSH airventure a dozen times. ATC rarely cleared me to land while on short final (didn`t see me?) I would fly in and land with discretion. When coversing with a pink shirt about this he said "well you`re alive aren`t you?" That`s a bad attitude.
Your comment is a bit confusing. Can you please clarify?
Wow. I wish I had to consider these problems!
Ha! First world problems. But they are life and death!
8:08 :) Prep. Elephant Ears and this. ;)
Thanks for posting Steve! I don't think we are going to make it this year with the s21 like we planned. We are still waiting on the DAR to give us an inspection date. Next year for sure!
Dang it!!! Well then maybe we’ll fly in together in ‘24. Good luck getting the DAR scheduled and his signature.
All good stuff. Of course IMHO flying into Oshkosh is a lot safer than flying around a busy airspace with a bunch of other VFR traffic that may/may not be on flight following... they could be going any which way... At least with Osh everyone is at least going the same general direction.
I love you
Thank you for the Elephant analogy, I will get tons of use out of it with the wife.
Ha! Great idea to put into practice w the wife, but don’t blame me if you turn it around and get slapped!
@@CLEAREDDIRECT 21’ separation should be good.
Elephants have huge mouths
Not compared to their ears.
Storms vs tent under wing🫣 The drive isn’t a bad choice anymore with mega dollar Avgas diet.
