Smooth air and an excellent breakfast were the results of another successful EAA 240 fly out. With hot nasty weather all week the morning flight was a refreshing change. Three aircraft departed west for Hagerstown and returned after everyone enjoyed a delicious meal at The Grill at Runways restaurant.
The journey also included instrument flight instruction and some practice time for a new EAA 240 young eagle. A great flight was had by all!
Our next fly-out is scheduled for Sunday, July 26th to Lancaster (LNS) with a planned departure time of 8:30am. See you at the airport!
Sharing ideas, concepts and experiences in better flying.
Join us Thursday, July 16th for another VMC & IMC Club session, starting at 6:30pm. 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 EAA VMC/ IMC Club provides a “hangar flying” experience organized around both fair weather and instrument flight, in order to promote safety, education, and proficiency.
Every meeting consists of a scenario presentation and group discussion about unusual or interesting charts, changed rules and procedures, and member experiences. We also have occasional guest speakers.
The scenarios we will discuss at this meeting include: (IMC) ‘Trim Trouble”‘, uncommanded nose down trim, and (VMC) ‘”Bumpy Final”‘, strong turbulence at 300 ft agl on approach. Both will raise questions about risk management and aeronautic decision making. Additional scenarios may be presented.
Bring your EFB, your experience, and your questions, and be ready to participate.
All are welcome. You do not need to be an EAA member or instrument rated pilot to attend
We will also be discussing how you can earn WINGS Credit. This event is also offered as an FAA Safety Team Seminar. To view further details and registration information for this seminar, click here.
