From carlsonj at workingcode.com Fri Aug 4 23:38:50 2023 From: carlsonj at workingcode.com (James Carlson) Date: Fri, 4 Aug 2023 23:38:50 -0400 Subject: EAA IMC Club Nashua Chapter Meeting August 9th and 13th Message-ID: <675ad2cf-1f16-20ae-4153-5d4de2cb4ad4@workingcode.com> The in-person meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, August 9th, at 1830L (6:30PM EDT) at the Nashua Airport, 93 Perimeter Road, Nashua NH 03063: https://goo.gl/maps/GiC2DsYdULDLVpzU8 Please do not attend if you feel ill or have a recent (within 10 days) positive COVID test result. The virtual meeting will be held on Sunday, August 13th, at 6:30PM EDT (2230Z) via Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/3577949883?pwd=aURNaEt6bjVoZWp1LzBFTklkQitNUT09 Without that link, it's meeting ID 357 794 9883 and passcode "5hSjnY" (without the quotes). Items tentatively planned for August's meeting: - Flight Planning Exercise - Pilot Workshop Scenario (Foggy Thinking) - (Planning supplemental materials) - Insert your item here (suggestions wanted) I'll be there by 6PM to open the room, but the real meeting begins at 6:30PM with this month's scenario. On Sunday, I'll have the Zoom meeting open at 6PM for those who want to chat or test equipment, and the meeting starts at 6:30PM EDT. The "flight planning" exercise is a suggestion from one of our regular participants. I don't have a lot of information about how exactly this should be done in a group setting, but we'll give it a try. Here's the scenario: We're planning a round trip from Laconia (LCI) to Northampton (7B2). The mission is to fly solo, drop off some equipment in Northampton, and return. There are thunderstorms predicted for early afternoon, so if we're going by plane, we want to make an early trip. It's about a 45 minute flight but over 2:30 by car, so we definitely want to fly if we can. We're taking a single engine piston, so assume 120-140KTS cruise and IFR approach-capable GPS, but nothing fancy. For weather, I'll provide the following. It's late summer, and freezing level is about 11,000'. Dawn in NH (sunrise at 5:35AM) has localized fog and IFR conditions with some improvement before noon. By mid-afternoon, a front will be moving northeast with an organized line of storms from southern Vermont down into western Connecticut.
