Date and Time:
Monday, August 21, 2023, starting at 19:00 Eastern Daylight Time Download Calendar File
Speaker(s):
Scott Gaenicke
Brief Description:

  • General aviation accidents have resulted from loss of control and controlled flight into terrain while flying in areas where weather information is largely unavailable.

  • Near real time weather information, especially in mountainous areas is not commonly available but camera views of those locations can greatly aid pilots in determining whether there are sufficient ceiling and visibility to support safe flight.

  • Pilots should be made aware of the presence of weather cameras and they should be instructed in their use.

  • In consultation with a flight instructor, Pilots should develop a set of personal weather minimums and periodically review and revise that reflect to reflect personal capabilities.

Additional Event Information & Acknowledgement of Industry Sponsor(s):

This 1-hour event is sponsored and hosted by the Local EAA IMC Club Chapter and the FAA Safety Team.

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 a 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.
