was that he attempted to land on the main runway 9R when planes were departing from that runway. The controllers radioed "white low-wing do not land on Runway 9R, sidestep over to the skinny runway to the left." When he tried to correct to 9L, he pulled the nose too high and stalled/mushed into the taxi lights between the runways. Minor injuries only but heavy damage to the aircraft.

A QUICK AND EASY WAY TO RAMP UP YOUR GPS KNOWLEDGE
Want to learn more about global positioning system receivers? There's a quick and easy way to expand your GPS knowledge. Take the AOPA Air Safety Foundation's GPS Minicourse , the flagship of the new series of ASF minicourses.
In just five to 15 minutes, this self-paced course will teach you the most often used functions of the Garmin 430/530 GPS panel-mount series, including the panel and button layout; the com and VHF nav radio tuning, proper use of the "direct-to" function, the "nearest airport" functions, and selecting GPS waypoints.
The course includes a free downloadable quick reference card that you can carry in the cockpit. Watch for new minicourses on other popular panel-mount GPS units. For a more in-depth look at GPS operations, see the full-length course, GPS for VFR Operations.

there have been some changes since previous years.
On the issue of familiarity with NOTAMs and flyins, I was reading some reports recently on the AOPA Air Safety Foundation/Accident Analysis webpage. This site is available to non-members and is an excellent resource. Learning from other people's mistakes is always much more interesting than text book safety procedures. Anyway, there is a write up in "Featured Accidents - Fly-in confusion: When it's best to go around" of a Glasair III at SunNFun. At the time of the accident in 2004, the pilot had accumulated 1200 hours total time, and had also flown into Sun 'n Fun the previous year. Although the pilot downloaded the NOTAM prior to his departure, he clearly didn't read it carefully before arriving at Lakeland. The upshot
