None of which supercedes FAR 91.3, but is good stuff to know when you look at what happened to Jack. Oh, and it's 32 pages of mostly good stuff!

Here it is: http://www.airventure.org/flying/2010_NOTAM.pdf

It states clearly: "This procedure is restricted to high performance turbojet and twin turboprop aircraft and to Warbird aircraft capable of cruising at 130 knots or greater. Slower Warbird aircraft shall use the VFR Arrival from Ripon."

One item of particular interest reads: "If your landing clearance appears unsafe because of spacing, speed of preceding aircraft, or any other reason, go around! A new sequence will be issued."

Sounds like basic airmanship to me...

By the way, FARs and notams are available online for free. It's public information.

Very basic for anyone who's earned as much as a private pilot's license.
