Join us Thursday, February 20th for another IMC & VMC Club session, starting at 6pm. We’ll discus a few scenarios related to both VMC and IMC flying. All Chapter members – pilots and non-pilots – are invited to attend this session led by Robert Huxster. We’ll go through the scenarios and share flight experiences, with the goal being for all of us to learn something new. The session includes the use of EAA National-provided scenarios and videos. 

Here are a couple questions that will be discussed:

You’re on a VFR cross country flight in your VFR-equipped 1977 Cessna 172, flying by pilotage at about 3,000 AGL, on your way home with a friend. You’re returning later than planned, and your friend asks if he can use his cell phone to call his wife to say he’ll be late. Since you’re flying VFR and not even using any onboard electronic navigation, is it legally permissible to let your friend make the call?

You’re flying a Piper Archer (PA-28-181) on a night IFR flight. Your weather briefing for the flight did not indicate the potential for icing, however, during the flight you begin to notice an accumulation of rime icing on the temperature probe. What actions should you take? Should you declare an emergency?
