Title:
EAA Chapter 129 IMC Club
Topic:
You Can Handle Just About Anything, Right?
Speaker(s):
Captain Jay Allen
Brief Description:
With winter around the corner, are you ready? The scenario: A pilot and passenger in a rented Cessna 172 are crossing the Pacific Northwest in typical October weather. They are watching for ice during a short cruise at 4,000 feet. When both spot ice accumulating on the airframe, the pilot requests a turn and descent. The descent cannot be approved immediately. Then, during the turn, new distractions demand the pilot’s attention.
How does a pilot go from feeling able to handle just about anything to facing a serious situation within minutes? Join EAA Chapter 129’s IMC Club to work through the decisions, distractions, and actions in this scenario. Captain Jay Allen will facilitate the discussion.
