Sun N Fun Arrival 2024: Penny

A look at the arrival into Sun N Fun in the Cessna 310, Penny 2024.
A very rewarding and stressful procedure that requires lots of planning, and careful examination of the NOTAM and charts to fly it well.

Sure love seeing the 310, great video! We never flew into S&F but numerous times into OSH.

That was a great video. Amazing amount of traffic. Can't believe how ATC must feel juggling everything!

[@kazflight]

Awesome! The controller's commentary was great :D.

Glad you enjoyed!

Very cool! Even with those shades on I could tell it was uncut full attention the entire approach.

[@fastbackflying853]

It really was. I was very fortunate with my timing.
I planned to arrive about 30 minutes after the airspace opened as they prioritize departures. Everyone who arrived early or on time ended in the hold.
By arriving later and then adjusting my speed on the way to the first waypoint I managed to avoid the hold and fit in nicely with the rest of the traffic.

Crazy approach, well flown!
I flew (commercially) to Sun 'n Fun in 2018 and had a blast. Have to do it again some time.

[@fastbackflying853]

Thank you kindly.
Sounds like an epic trip for you and the Musketeer? Fly down the West coast then make your way East over the Grand Canyon into Arizona then to Florida?

@@fastbackflying853 Flying VFR from B.C. to Florida at that time of year is a pretty tall order and probably not realistic. Yes, I'd fly down the west coast then across the south.
In 1999 my plane's former owners flew her to Oshkosh (three days, CYNJ-KGGW, KGGW-KSTC, KSTC-KOSH). This is much more doable. "White low wing over Fisk give me a wing rock!"
