PREFLIGHT WEATHER
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
FLYING TO THE BIG SHOW
YOU AND A NONPILOT FRIEND ARE FLYING A CESSNA 172 FROM YOUR HOME IN
Richmond, Virginia, to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, for EAA AirVenture, the world's
largest aviation gathering. The airplane is IFR equipped, but you're not.
You're a VFR private pilot with 200 total flight hours, and this is the longest
cross-country trip you've ever made.
The summertime flight across the Appalachians, Ohio, and northern Indiana involved dodging cumulus cloud buildups, light but continuous chop, heat,
and headwinds-and you're tired.
You stop for fuel at Waukegan (UGN), Illinois, a mere 45 minutes from the
big show at Wittman Regional Airport (OSH). It's 6 p.m., and the hot day has
turned into a pleasant evening. VFR arrivals at OSH must be on the ground
by 8 p.m., and that doesn't leave much time to review the multi-page airshow
arrival procedures, then fly them alongside other pilots who also may be rushing to beat the deadline.
You and your friend prefer to stay in Waukegan overnight. But when you
check the weather forecast, you see that low clouds are expected to arrive
late and the morning will bring IFR or marginal VFR conditions and light rain
throughout the Midwest. Those adverse conditions are expected to last for 48
hours-or two of the three days you planned to attend the fly-in.
Do you:
* Ignore your fatigue and press on to OSH before the airfield closes.
* Fly toward OSH and land at an airport along the way since you don't know

the OSH arrival procedure well enough to
fly it safely.
* Park the airplane for the night at
Waukegan because of pilot fatigue and
re-evaluate in the morning.
* Park the airplane at Waukegan, rent a
car, and drive to OSH.
Technical Editor Jill Tallman says:
The two words that jump out at me in
this scenario are "tired" and "AirVenture." You don't want to mess with either
of those. And your passenger is not a
pilot, so he or she is not going to be any
help with flying the airplane.
I'd choose the third option. There's
no way I'm jumping back into an
airplane after flying all day and try to
get into the airshow without having
thoroughly briefed those arrival procedures-particularly as a brand-new pilot,
and particularly as a tired brand-new
