EAA IMC Club Nashua Chapter Meeting March 9th and 12th.

[James Carlson]

*** NOTE BELOW: There's homework! Please come prepared with a flight
plan from ASH to LKP (and return) using weather from March 5th.

Next month's meeting will be April 9th. Please let me know of any
conflicts.

Our first virtual IMC Club meeting was April 8th, 2020. In the past five
years, I've run 59 extra meetings, with this one being the 60th. I think
that may be enough. Many other chapters have stopped virtual meetings,
but there are a several left (search at faasafety.gov for "imc"). For
instance, a virtual IMC Club meeting run from San Diego is conveniently
timed for many East Coast attendees (9:30PM Eastern). Here's the link
for their next meeting on March 12th:

Also, I'd be happy to help anyone who wants to set up a new club meeting
(virtual or otherwise). April's meeting will be in person at the Nashua
Airport.

The last virtual IMC Club meeting will be held on Sunday, March 9th,
at 6:30PM EDT (2230Z) via Zoom:

Without that link, it's meeting ID 357 794 9883 and passcode "5hSjnY"
(without the quotes).

The in-person meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, March 12th, at
1830L (6:30PM EDT) at the Nashua Airport, 93 Perimeter Road, Nashua NH
03063:

Please do not attend the in-person meeting if you feel ill.

Items tentatively planned for March's meeting:

  - Pilot Workshop Scenario (Mammoth Winds West of Macon)
  - Flight planning exercise (ASH to LKP)
  - (Planning supplemental materials)
  - Insert your item here (suggestions wanted)

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. On Wednesday, I'll
be there by 6PM to open the room, but the real meeting begins at
6:30PM with this month's scenario.

After the scenario, we'll go into the flight planning exercise. The
exercise is to plan a flight from Nashua (ASH) to Lake Placid (LKP)
using weather on March 5th, 2025. Before the meeting, plan out this
flight to depart in the morning and return in afternoon or evening. Be
prepared to talk about route, timing, and concerns. Would you make the
trip? What resources did you use? We'll go around the room and discuss
the plan, so be prepared to contribute.

If you wish, you can sign up for WINGS credit for the Wednesday
in-person meeting here:

For those who don't sign up in advance, there will also be a link
provided in the meeting for WINGS credit. If you use a different name in
your Zoom account, please include it with your registration or let me
know during the meeting.

Until then, fly safely!
