EAA240 VMC/IMC Club Meeting – Thursday, September 17th, 6:00pm

Sharing ideas, concepts and experiences in better flying.

Join us Thursday, September 17th for another VMC & IMC Club session, starting at 6:00pm. 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) ‘Hard to find at night’, trying landing at Clearwater at night with no rotating beacon, and (VMC) ‘Fun with flaps”, asymmetrical flap deployment. 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.
