Additional Event Information & Acknowledgement of Industry Sponsor(s):
The EAA IMC Club organized around instrument flight, in order to promote safety, education, and proficiency.
Each month, the IMC club provides a "hangar flying" experience by exploring an instrument flight-related question and a scenario presentation followed by a group discussion. The goal is to enhance knowledge of instrument flight, aeronautical decision-making, and in-flight awareness.
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.
