March Question of the Month:
Your diversion airport only has an ILS. You shoot the ILS and land safely but then realize you have not performed a VOR check within 30 days of this flight, you further realize to additional chagrin that your GPS database is out of date. Were you legal enroute? Were you legal on the ILS?
This event is sponsored and hosted by EAA Chapter 221 and the FAA Safety Team.

What is the IMC Club?
IMC Club is the brain child of Radek Wyrzykowski; a Master Certified Flight Instructor, 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 IMC Club?
At IMC Club, our purpose is to promote instrument flying, proficiency and safety. Along with IFR flying and monthly local chapter meetings, we offer a resource-rich website which provides an electronic experience base.
Our intent is to create a community of pilots in order to share information, provide recognition, foster communications, promote safety and build proficiency in instrument flying. IMC Club chapters 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 key element to the 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.
