IMC/VMC Club this coming Wednesday at 7 pm

Our IMC/VMC Club for the month of November will be online from 7 pm to 8 pm on Wednesday, November 3rd. The program will have both IMC and VMC components.

The IMC part will be a continuation of last month’s discussion about missed approaches and when you have to make the decision to begin the missed approach procedure; this will be led by CFII Scott Thompson. The VMC part will also be a continuation of our “What Would You Do?” scenario from October, where a pilot is unable to maintain altitude and has to decide whether to land on a highway. More information will be provided about the pluses and minuses of landing on highways!

FAA Wings credit is available for this event by registering here, and all pilots are invited to participate. This is the Zoom link to join the meeting, which will be sent out again on Wednesday morning.
