If you launched on the LEFT of FLD's runway, you landed on OSH 36L; if you launched on the RIGHT of FLD's runway, you landed on OSH 36R. You landed LONG because there would be someone behind you and you taxiied expeditiously TO THE END of the runway. After departure from FLD 18, the climb would be executed at 95 KIAS and 500 FPM up to 1800 MSL. We would establish a cruise speed of 120 KIAS with the gear DOWN until POBER (5 mile final for 36) where each aircraft would begin the decent to the runway at the proper approach speed. It was 110 KIAS for the VariEzes, 95 KIAS for the Velocities, 90 KIAS for the Longs and Cozies etc.
