Steps of Fisk arrival: 1 Have a copy of the notam, memorize the pertinent parts, I'd mark them in yellow highlight. Listen to the ATIS then put radio on arrival freq.
2 Keep you eyes out for traffic. Find the small town of Ripon. It is just n e of the Green Lake which is big enough to see on the ground and on the Chigacgo sectional. You may have gps or moving map etc. It is even easier to find if you are coming from the south, as FDL is a good size town with an easy to see ariport on the west side. Stay high there.Hwy 23 runs from FLD n w right to Ripon where it meets the hwy coming from the south 3 Have arrival freqency on the radio, and just listen. 4 Fly 90k and I think its 1000 " AGL. 5 Turn north toward Fisk, if there is a plane in front of you follow it. Good idea to lower gear and that helps you slow to 90 k. 6 At Fisk the controller on the ground will call you by type, and likely tell you to proceed to which runway, or to hold at the lake. 7 Just follow the railroad tracks ne to Osh and land on the runway assigned, no need to talk. LOOK OUT THE WINDOW FOR TRAFFIC, 8 MAKE A NORMAL LANDING, THAT IS GEAR DOWN AND CORRECT APPROACH SPEED JUST LIKE ALL THE ONES BEFORE. 9 When you have slowed safely exit onto the grass and show your printed parking sign.
Ripon, looks like a nice nondescript little town. But beleive it or not it is where the Republican party was founded in 1890?. Some good guys then, big issue was they were abolitioniist, dont think they had a position on bathrooms or privitatisizing our ATC back then. Maybe this came with eating too many cheese curds. Did they have "Go Packers bumpers stickers on their buggies then?
And one more thing Ripon is known for, stricly aviation wise?
