ATC Wanted to Talk after my Arrival Incident at AirVenture  @FlightChops
Uploaded July 2025 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago
Having a friend in ATC at KOSH was very handy to learn about the nuances of what went wrong during my 2023 arrival.
AirVenture can be a daunting experience for any pilot to fly in. I’ve learned a lot over the many times I’ve done it, and I’m doing my best to share some top tips and insights here!

The rest of my Osh schedule is below, but I wanted to highlight the creator panel, and your chance to win a T6 flight if you're going to be at the event Monday morning!

FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:

I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 20 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.
