Brief Description:

The IMC Club provides organized “hangar flying” focused on building proficiency and safety in instrument flying. We have very engaging discussions of real-world instrument scenarios, with pilots also sharing their knowledge and experiences in order to promote safety, education, and proficiency.  You do not have to be instrument rated to attend.

Every meeting consists of scenario presentations and group discussions about instrument procedures, proficiency, unusual or interesting charts, changed rules and procedures, and member experiences.

The scenarios we will discuss at this meeting are focused on instrument procedures, decision making, proficiency, weather, and pre-flight planning.

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.

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.

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.
