The Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) rolled out nationally a new program/chapter type called the VMC/IMC Club. The idea is to present one or more flight scenarios to the group for discussion, under the guidance of a flight instructor. The scenarios are presented as a short video, and are designed to confront the pilot with making difficult decisions on how/whether to initiate or continue the flight.
There are no right or wrong answers, but the group gets to define and evaluate the risks and sort out the best way to proceed.
In addition, there will be several "Questions of the Month" on rules and regulations and recommended operating procedures.
Topics may include:
- Tight Pattern
- Fuel Imbalance
- Bounced Landing
- Edge of the Envelope
- Loss of Control
- One Last Look
- Fog in the Mountains
- Into Thin Air
- Too Far to Glide
Our speaker, Jay Steffenhagen, is a long-time EAA Chapter 92 member, a Young Eagle pilot, and an independent flight instructor at John Wayne Airport.
