IMC Club at IA

Guess they didn't get the training that you need to give these things a wide berth! They didn't attend an IMC Club at IA meeting! :)

American Airlines Flight 1897 was forced to make an emergency landing Sunday night after flying through a severe thunderstorm. The aircraft, which had departed from San Antonio heading for Phoenix, sustained significant hail damage to the windshield and radome.

What a fantastic day! Thanks to Mike H. and Paul C. for coming to Buena Vista for a visit and a flight to the Sand Dunes and back. Very special time with the new Club leaders!

Our final meeting of 2017 is next Tuesday, December 12 at 6:00pm.

The scenario discussion is "An Encounter with Ice," a real-life one experienced by an IA instructor on a recent excursion to the East Coast.

As always, we'll look at an interesting IMC Question of the Month and an Approach of the Month selected by our leader, Chuck Gensler.

It's also membership renewal time! We'll be looking for folks to continue the fun into 2018!

A great article about mitigating weather risks from the folks NBAA

Read about the latest tools and technology to help pilots mitigate weather risks in NBAA's November/December 2017 Business Aviation Insider magazine.

We had a great meeting last Tuesday! Lots of great discussion around clearances, the need to "tune and identify" when flying ILS/LOC approaches, and the scenario "NORDO below the OROCA" provided by PilotWorkshops.

One thing mentioned was EAA's service "Ask ATC." You can submit a question and ATC authorities will answer them. That service is at https://www.eaa.org/en/eaa/aviation-communities-and-interests/imc-club/ask-atc.

Get answers from experienced air traffic controllers. “Ask ATC” allows you to write your aviation ATC query, and post to our ATC panel across the United States in just a few taps.
