Last year was only my second time flying the Oshkosh VFR arrival, so I’ll take everyone’s word that it was the worst they’d ever seen. And I’ll believe that too, because it was the craziest thing I’d ever seen and I’m surprised there weren’t any mid-airs because I saw some dangerous flying by a lot of pilots. Not to mention blatant disregard for the in-trail spacing. I had actually intended to arrive IFR, but due to a mix-up with my departure clearance I ended up flying VFR into the mix of all the other aircraft. The timing of my flight (which started from home base earlier in the morning) meant that by the time I got to the Wisconsin area, it was all VFR and improving.
All I know is that something has to change, and this FLD Bailout sounds like it’s worth a try. Even if it just ends up being separating the arrivals into two paths, that still seems like an improvement if it means everyone is calmer and more easily able to maintain their spacing.
