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.
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.

Question of the Month: You are approaching for landing on runway 32 at a large and busy airport that has inbound regional airline traffic landing on 36. While on final, the tower requests you to Land and Hold Short of runway 36 for landing traffic. This reduces your available landing distance on 32 to 2,000 feet. Are you required to accept the land and hold short request? Why should or shouldn't you accept, and what are the potential consequences of accepting or declining the request?
