Brief Description:
The EAA IMC Club organized around instrument flight, in order to promote safety, education, and proficiency.
Each month, the club provides a "hangar flying" experience by exploring an instrument flight-related question followed by a group discussion. The goal is to enhance knowledge of instrument flight, aeronautical decision-making, and in-flight awareness.
This month's discussion will focus on: Flight Service RCO reductions.
All are welcome. You do not need to be an EAA member or instrument rated pilot to attend. Bring your EFB, your experience, and your questions, and be ready to participate.
We will also be discussing how you can earn WINGS Credit to increase Phased Pilot participation in the program.

Once upon a time, pilot applicants were required to demonstrate proficiency in contacting a Fight Service Station as part of selected practical tests. These days with the increased availability of FSS replacement services such as in-flight datalink, this proficiency has been lost and many recently-certificated piliots may have no experience interacting with Flight Service.
This presentation will review the basics of FSS in-flight communication, the in-flight FSS services available, and why a pilot might continue to use these services in the modern datalink environment.
This webinar is hosted by EAA Chapter 663 based at Livermore, CA, in partnership with the FAASTeam. Nandu Sankaran is an Instrument rated Commercial-ASEL pilot and a chapter member. He is also a FAASTeam Representative with the Oakland FSDO. Brian Eliot, ATP, CFI-I, CFI-AME, CFI-ASE is an independent flight instructor and today's presenter. Originally from the midwest, he has flown and taught in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 20 years.
