Event Details and Registration

The EAA VMC Club provides a "hangar flying" experience organized around visual flight, in order to promote safety, education, and proficiency.

Every meeting consists of a scenario presentation and group discussion about unusual or interesting charts, changed rules and procedures, and member experiences.  We also have occasional guest speakers.

The scenario(s) we will discuss at this meeting is: Do you know how your electrically powered instruments and systems work?  Knowing your systems can be a life saver when something malfunctions.  

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 to attend

We will also be discussing how you can earn WINGS Credit.

Flying-In - Set your GPS to 8T8 and select "Direct-To, Enter, Enter"; Communicate with San Antonio Approach and avoid the TFRs; ……and look at the Sectional, there’s is an 1,128 foot tower (AGL) a few miles ENE. Bring your own tie-downs. Once you are on the ground, Park at the North end in the grass as shown in this picture.

Driving-In - From Hwy 1604, turn Northwest on Culebra (FM 471) and drive for seven (7) miles; Turn Left into San Geronimo Air Park. EAA Chapter 35 Club House is the first building on the left. Gated entrance on west side of Culebra Rd. If gate is closed call (210) 386-5009.

Walking-In - Yeah; Like a pilot is going to walk that far! Probably NOT! You may want to try a Taxi or Ride-Share.

VMC Club ends at 11 am. Regular monthly gathering starts at 11:30 with a donation lunch.

Thank you to EAA 35 for hosting.  Following this Seminar the chapter will have its monthly gathering with a donation lunch. See www.eaa35.org for details.

What is the EAA/VMC Club? 

EAA provides monthly program resources in the form of actual VMC 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/VMC Club?

The purpose of EAA Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC) Clubs is to promote 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 flying.

EAA VMC Clubs are extensions to local EAA chapters and offer monthly VMC 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/VMC 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?

This meeting is open to all current, non-current, and future pilots.
