Can’t wait for the clickbait.

To give some perspective on this incident. They had been landing all day on Rwy 36L & and 36R when the wind shifted due to a passing weather system causing them to land the other direction Rwy 18L. This changed the procedure from a left base to final to a left downwind pattern. This was very confusing as the line of arrivals had all been preparing for the left base. And remember the ATC isn't using specific tail numbers to give instructions to the aircraft just the type aircraft. The pilots are to remain radio silent. In this case I believe ATC had just cleared a Bonanza (the v tail seen in the video) to land on the yellow dot (which is mid field). The wring way Bonanza probably was flying crosswind (which had been the base leg all day) and got the Bonanza clearance for the yellow dot confused as he was cleared to land on the yellow dot. So you now have two Bonanzas flying for the yellow dot in opposite directions. When ATC sees the conflict she says everyone on final go around. Which actually made things worse because both Bonanzas were on final and both started to go around. Once the wrong way Bonanza figured out he was the wrong way Bonanza he really didn't have much choice but to land as he had downwind traffic to his right and ultralight traffic on his left and rwy 27 traffic straight ahead. After this incident I believe ATC had spotters watching for planes on crosswind setting up for a turn to final. There were number of ATC calls to specific planes (by tail number) telling them to not descend and continue straight for a downwind arrival. I'm sure this wrong way pilot had a conversation with the FAA and may be facing a pilot deviation. Then again if the FAA finds that ATC instructions were unclear and the pilot believed it superseded the procedure in the NOTAM it may just end up being a learning experience for both pilots and ATC. The silver lining is that everyone got down safe.

The controllers that work Oshkosh do a hell of a job. Hats off to them. And the pilots who come in and follow instructions help make this a great event.

He's got to be pretty dang happy that this was captured on video ! lol

Wow. What a busy place. The controller’s really have their hands full.

1:13 "We had somebody (N1949S) landing opposite direction." At least N3097C didn't have to fly back to Fisk.

Downwind, no flaps. Thankfully everything worked out. It's a high stress environment. The pilot must have been very flustered and confused.

i wonder if they've tried a pattern like we had in Navy Flight Training at Pensacola for the Primary Students. There was a higher (I think 1800') circle above the entry pattern. You did a circle there, stepped down to the entry pattern, then did a 360 break over the runway, gear, flaps, prop, etc, final, then land. Of course, here they have two parallel runways, so I'm not sure how that would work.

According to the Airfield notice (formerly NOTAM) Warbirds (the pilots of which, I guess, are presumed to know how to fly that overhead approach) may be asked to do so, or can request it. I was asked to do that last year, I suppose for spacing.

@IncogNito-gg6uh

11 ай бұрын

They used to do something like that at the old Municipal airport in Kansas City with GA airplanes arriving during periods of heavy airline arrivals. The GA guys would circle the field at pattern altitude. When there was a gap in arrivals the controller would pick the circling aircraft in the best position, call out their number then order "short approach, cleared to land."

This is just wild

What a cluster f%#@, no wonder there's so many crashes at this air show every year.

I honestly can't fathom it. how did he not see the HUGE LINE of A/C on his GPS/ADSB/foreflight, how did he not see the HUGE line of A/C out his windows NOT in front of him, how could he not have heard ATC yelling at him? (im presuming they were calling him out the entire time!?!? because they're on POINT about this and extremely direct.) how could ATC not have been YELLING at him to go around vs sending the entire line around? how could he be so INEPT and OBLIVIOUS completely lacking ALL SA!?!?

I was volunteering at EAA and saw this. Earlier in the day they were landing runway 36 but then a storm came through early afternoon and arrivals stopped. When the arrivals started again after the storm had passed the wind had shifted and they switched to landing on runway 18. I think pilots are much more used to landing runway 36 at AirVenture, and I wonder if landings on 18 being less common had something to do with this pilot's mistake. It looked like another pilot had turned for a final on 36 as well maybe 2 hours later, but waved off at the last second and managed to join the pattern for 18 again and land on the correct runway.
