Event Details and Registration

The EAA IMC Club provides a "hangar flying" experience organized around instrument 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/are: This month we will utilize an FAA National Safety Team slide show called Angle of Attack Awareness. We will look at how to maintain awareness of this critical concept during IMC conditions. We will review critical aerodynamic concepts, discuss the dangers of uncoordinated flight, look at unusual attitude recovery in IMC and discuss how to mitigate one of the biggest threats to general aviation safety - Loss of Control Inflight.

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.

From the North or South on HWY 5, continue Eastbound at Industrial Blvd to the airport. The facility is located to the right of the FBO.

Coming from the North or South on U.S. 75, continue Eastbound at El Dorado Parkway which changes to Industrial Blvd at Hwy 5 to the airport. Facility is located to the right of the McKinney Air Center.

Use the entrance near the flag poles.  

The NTX FAASTeam would like to thank event sponsor McKinney High School Aviation for hosting the event  and FAASTEAM Representative Darren Fleming for presenting this important safety message. We would also like to thank to PilotWorkshops for providing the scenario.

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.
