Title:
IMC Club Meeting at Palomar Airport / EAA 286
Topic:
Our Typical Agenda Is to Spend an Hour Discussing Best Practices, New Technologies and Current Events.
Speaker(s):
Joe Godfrey, IMC Club Program Coordinator
Brief Description:
After a brief Audio/Video presentation we ask "What Would You Do"? Everyone is encouraged to join in the discussion. Videos depicting actual flights that encountered challenges are chosen from a library provided by EAA and the presenter. In the ensuing discussion, often there's agreement on the steps to take, but that's not necessarily the goal - the value is in performing the mental exercise and developing an answer that's right for you.
Sometimes we argue it out - respectfully - and modify our plan of attack. The benefit is to think it through without the pressure of flying the plane. Pilots of all skill levels are encouraged to attend. Click the link below for more information and to register.
May's scenarios cover inadvertent penetration of an embedded thunderstorm, and turbulence over the mountains that's bad enough to give you a good head thump. If you're seeing stars should you continue the flight?
Also, PAA president Alan Baldus will lead a discussion on pop-up clearances.

What is the purpose of the IMC club?
At IMC Club, our purpose is to promote instrument flying, proficiency and safety. Along with IFR flying and monthly local chapter meetings, we offer a resource-rich website which provides an electronic experience base.
Our intent is to create a community of pilots in order to share information, provide recognition, foster communications, promote safety and build proficiency in instrument flying. IMC Club Chapters offer monthly meetings in which 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 key element to the 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.
Who can attend?
You don’t need an instrument rating to attend. This meeting is open to all current, non-current, and future instrument pilots.
