RIPON - FISK Oshkosh Arivial with ATC audio July 24, 2018 - Runway 27

RIPON - FISK Oshkosh (KOSH) Arrival with ATC audio May 24, 2018 around 15:30 Zulu. Airplane is a 1970 Cessna A150K Aerobat. We departed from our fuel stop at Portage (C47) and then rallied at RIPON per the NOTAM. We lined up behind a Lake Amphibian and followed the railroad tracks into FISK where the controller identified us as "high wing Cessna with left wing light." We were told to follow the Lake Amphibian to runway 27. When we approached the base leg for 27, a Grumman Goose seaplane was coming in on left base as we were coming in on right base. The tower had us descend above the seaplane and land on the green dot (halfway down the runway) at the same time the seaplane was landing on the numbers (start of runway). This was the first time I have been to or landed at Oshkosh. It sure was cool!

It's always nice when the FISK controllers actually have time to talk to individual pilots.

Great job flying the pattern! More should review your video as the way to do it! -OSH ATC

I think if I were flying into this for the first time it would stress me. Watching this would be a good way to prep. It’s good you post this.

GREAT JOB! You stayed inside the gravel pit and the approach was EXCELLENT! Better a little high and fast than low and slow.

If you get a compliment from a controller with no additional instructions, you are a pro! Well done!

Great video! Brings back the fantastic, heart pounding experience of my first, of two, visits to Oshkosh in 1988 just two years after obtaining my Private Pilot License.

Great video, clearly showing the railroad tracks from Ripon right up to the gravel pit. I felt for the guy that was sent on the 180 heading, it was like he was being sent packing. Good for him that he called the controller back and got back in the flow.

I think ya did a great job, 👍

[@joestuph]

Awesome.

Nice job.

One piece of advice. The NOTAM states "Turn base prior to reaching shoreline. Do not continue past shoreline unless advised by ATC." The diagram also shows turning base half way between end of runway and the shoreline. So you overshot it a bit (which was why the ATC sounded urgent).

[@josephfolsom]

Thanks for the advice. This was the first time I've been into Oshkosh and any pointers for the future are appreciated. The only item that you can't see in the video was that we were following a Lake Amphibian in and couldn't turn in front of them.

Turning your radio off after you clear the runway will also reduce the stress...
