i have found that on 2 of my visits to osh the 2nd time last week in my
propjet that when i arrived on an ifr flight plan i was vectored
straight in to the vor 27 approach and arriving was a nonissue and
avoided all the vfr traffic lineup(being "forced" to taxi in the grass
on the other hand was a bit disconcerting).  in the notam it says to
cancel ifr and go in vfr but on the 2 occasions that i flew in on an ifr
flight plan(the first time in a bellanca super viking) atc took me
straight in ifr.  perhaps for those that are able to file ifr this would
be worthwhile in our planes.  

fwiw,

It appears that the majority of accidents are a result of stall/spin
accidents with arriving traffic. Is it possible that the approach
procedures
are a little to tight for novice/low proficiency pilots in the very
intense
approach phase atmosphere?

 

I know the controllers are very anxious to keep the traffic tight to
facilitate the arrival flow. I know that I have been told to turn base
and
expedite my landing and clear the runway for arriving higher speed
traffic
(P-51).


All of our training is based on one runway, one airplane. This may be
the
first time many pilots are faced with one runway and 1, 2, or 3
airplanes
all landing at the same time. Truly, not part of our normal training. I
can
tell you from my own personnel experience that I am in a very high
state of
awareness at to what the other airplanes are doing and my concern that
someone will not execute the landing properly, so I am always primed
for a
go-around.
