    Our chapter offers an IMC/VMC Club for our members to network and share flying knowledge and experience.  Each month we cover an IFR and a VFR topic.  We meet the 2nd Wednesday of every month.  More information can be found at: IMC/VMC Club

    The topic for the November meeting will be Unleaded Fuel.

    The VMC Question of the Month for November is:

    For the following questions, assume the in-flight visibility is 10 miles.

    Part A: You're flying over Atlantic coastal waters, just off shore in class G airspace with overlying class E airspace at 700

    feet. If you are flying at an altitude of 600 feet, clear of clouds, and the ceiling is 700 feet MSL, are you meeting the cloud

    clearance for day VFR flight?

    Part B: Let's say the ceiling lifts a bit to 1,000 MSL. You would like a little more altitude to maintain glide distance to shore.

    If you increase your altitude to 700 MSL, and still remain clear of clouds, are you still legal for day VFR?

    The IMC Question of the Month for November is:

    When flying IFR and under radar contact, what changes and conditions must pilots report to A TC?

    This meeting may not qualify for Wings credit.  We're waiting to hear from the FAA.

    There are 3 scheduled flight periods (9:00am, 9:45am, 10:30am). Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your child's scheduled flight period. Go directly inside to the registration table to check in. There may be some waiting before your child's flight. Once your child's plane taxi's out, the average flight is 15 to 20 minutes. Please return to the registration desk after your child's flight to pick up their Young Eagles certificate.

    Be sure to also check out the flight simulator and get more details on all the extra's available through the EAA Young Eagles and AeroEducate Programs.

    Please DO NOT sign up your child to fly at this chapter more than once every six months. Thank you!

    Our chapter has pre-purchased 75 adult tickets to Christmas Jubilee at the Flying W Ranch, and are excited to offer them to our members and guests at a discounted rate of $35/adult. When submitting your RSVP, please select and pay for your adult tickets here. The chapter is covering the remaining cost of the tickets.

    Children 3 & under are free. For children aged 4-12, purchase tickets directly with Flying W, rather than using the adult tickets.
