Amen, to all the foregoing about memorizing the NOTAM before you ever get there, having a hard copy on your lap, and then keeping your eyes OUTSIDE the cockpit during the Fisk arrival. However, if you are a first-timer, using your iFly to help you find Ripon then Fisk is a good thing. It is an easy matter to create your own flight plan for that final leg to Ripon, then to Fisk using the coordinates in the NOTAM. I find the course tape a very, very handy instrument that only requires a quick glance to check your heading against your bearing, just in case you need it as a first-timer who does not know where Fisk is for certain (or when you have arrived there). Just get it in your head that you are NOT going to fly the iFly - you are going to keep your eyes outside the aircraft except for a very quick glance at the course tape or "distance to" instruments only if necessary. After all, a pilot should be able to follow a railroad track from 1000 ft agl, don't 'cha think? One year I was turning from base to final for Rwy 36 as instructed by the tower controller when some hot shot decided to do a straight-in from Fond-du-Lac and just blew right past me from right-to-left only yards away from me. It sent shivers up my spine. And then he landed in front of me without a "clearned-to-land" from the tower. Just give the controllers good "wing rocks" when asked to, follow the controller's verbal instructions, and keep your head on a swivel and eyes outside the cockpit. ===== Ralph
