Event Details and Registration

Please join us for this Phoenix TRACON, Operation Raincheck "off-site" presentation by Phoenix TRACON controller Matt Schorman.

This 1-1.5 hour program was created to allow controllers and pilots to interact one-on-one with a short presentation followed by a question and answer session, and is basically the same presentation given by Mr. Schorman at Sky Harbor. Only thing missing is the tower and TRACON tour.  

Discussions will include best operating practices with some additional emphasis for IFR operations, review of Phoenix area hot spots, Class Bravo transition and a general overview of what controllers do at the TRACON, and conclude with question and answers.

If you've ever tried to register for the "on-site" presentation including the tour, you know how difficult it is, as the event often sells out in minutes. In the pilot universe, "Operation Rain Check" is the hottest ticket in town. Or maybe you are a student pilot from abroad, and not a U.S. citizen, therefore don't meet the tower entry requirements. For whatever reason you haven't been able to attend this informative presentation at Sky Harbor, this is your opportunity to learn about the inner workings of ATC, meet a controller face to face, and ask questions.

Please register and plan join us for this great opportunity.

Seating is limited so please register soon. 

EAA/IMC Club, through the EAA's global Chapter structure, provides organized "hangar flying" focused on building instrument flying knowledge and skills.  The program's network promotes a safety culture through continued education and believes that we develop safety and proficiency through education and real life experience.

What is the EAA/IMC Club? 

EAA/IMC Club is the brainchild of Radek Wyrzykowski, Instrument and Multi-Engine Instructor.  As a flight instructor in Norwood, Massachusetts, Radek developed a volunteer mentor program to help instrument pilots improve their proficiency, and they loved it.

What is the purpose of EAA/IMC Club?

At EAA/IMC Club, our aim is to promote instrument flying, proficiency, and safety.  Along with IFR flying and monthly local meetings, we offer a resource-rich website which provides an electronic experience base.

Our intent is to create a community of pilots to share information, provide recognition, foster communications, promote safety and build proficiency in instrument flying.  EAA/IMC Club 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 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.

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.
