Non-instrument rated pilots who want to improve their proficiency now have an excellent new resource through EAA’s VMC Club.
The VMC Club is modeled after the popular IMC Club concept which provides organized “hangar flying” focused on building proficiency in instrument flying. The VMC Club will do the same, but for pilots who are not instrument rated and fly primarily under visual flight rules and under VMC.
The VMC Club offers monthly meetings in which pilots can network and share knowledge and experience. The meetings use real-world scenarios to engage members, and allow a free exchange of information that improves awareness and skills. The intent is to create a community of pilots willing to share information, provide recognition, foster communications, promote safety, and build proficiency.
All EAA members are automatically eligible to take part in VMC and IMC Club programs in their local chapters.
For more information about VMC Club you can visit the pilot proficiency section of the EAA website at https://eaa.org/eaa/pilots/EAA-pilot-proficiency/proficiency-and-education-programs/vmc-club
If you are an VMC Club member and would like to submit one of your experiences so that a scenario may be developed and used for training around the world, please visit this page and Tell Us Your Story.
