Stealth0707: That link is useless for what Karny is trying to do; it only works for running Japanese games on a US system or US games on a Japanese system.
Karny: short of buying a PAL SNES, there are three things you can do as far as I know:
1) Make a switch to enable/disable the "lock" CIC inside the SNES. A 50/60Hz switch might not be a bad idea either, since the game may have a 50/60Hz check (though I've heard only later games have them).
Instructions for the CIC disable can be found
here (including a more in-depth explanation of how the CIC works) or
here (quick summary with a couple pics).

2) Use an import adapter. These can't get around the 50/60Hz check (at least the ones I saw; in theory it is possible with an Action Replay/Game Genie type function), but are the least messy route. I have no idea where to find one. Once I get the kinks ironed out of my PCB fabrication process, I might be able to make one for you.
EDIT: You have to get one that is made for compatibility between NTSC and PAL games/carts - a simple slot extender will NOT work, it either has to have its own boot chip or it has to have two slots (one for the cart with the boot chip, and one for the game you want to run).
3) Find a crappy US/Japan game that you could live without. Open it up and desolder the CIC. Open up your PAL Pilotwings cart and replace the PAL CIC with the NTSC one. Messy, potentially expensive, and only fixes the one game. Kind of sucks if you ask me
