Event Details and Registration

The EAA IMC Club provides a "hangar flying" experience organized around 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 scenario(s) we will discuss at this meeting is/are: Scenario 102 Bump in the Lights. Low IFR conditions just over the mountains tempts two pilots with perfect conditions to practice in actual IMC. It all goes as planned until one surprise event creates a cascade of consequences. Which devil would you choose if forced to weigh multiple benefits that come with multiple drawbacks? There are no easy choices, and none come for free.

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.

From the North or South on HWY 5, continue Eastbound at Industrial Blvd to the airport. The facility is located to the right of the FBO McKinney Air Center.

Coming from the North or South on U.S. 75, continue Eastbound at El Dorado Parkway which changes to Industrial Blvd at Hwy 5 to the airport. Facility is located to the right of the FBO McKinney Air Center.

The entrance that should be used is the one with the flag poles in front of the door.  As you look at the front of the building the correct doors are on the left. Look for white signs on door for IMC Club.

The NTX FAASTeam would like to thank event sponsor McKinney High School Aviation for hosting the event  and FAASTEAM Representative Kurtis Sampson for presenting this important safety message. We would also like to thank to PilotWorkshops for providing the scenario.

What is the EAA/IMC Club? 

EAA provides monthly program resources in the form of actual IMC related scenarios designed to encourage open discussion, and for all participants to answer the question “What would you do if this happened to you?” 

What is the purpose of EAA/IMC Club?

The purpose of EAA Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) Clubs is to promote instrument flying, proficiency, and safety. The intent is to create a community of pilots willing to share information, provide recognition, foster communications, promote safety, and build proficiency in instrument flying.

EAA IMC Clubs are extensions to local EAA chapters and offer monthly IMC program meetings where pilots can network and share knowledge and experiences. 

Do you need to bring anything?

First, bring your thoughts or story and be willing to share them with the group.  This meeting is very interactive.  Participation by the group is a fundamental element to the EAA/IMC Club meeting.

Others have found it helpful to bring along a copy of their flight manual, GPS manual, and charts.  If you navigate with an iPad, bring it along.
