Mission Statement for IMC Club of Toledo

Many instrument pilots finish their training and then become disengaged with the instrument flying community because of the on going difficulty of keeping up with their instrument skills. The result is a dangerous lack of proficiency by some of  these rated instrument pilot.  The goal of IMC Club of Toledo is to reengage instrument and other interested pilots so they can Master the Art of Instrument Navigation. To accomplish this goal the club members will use coaching, seminar training, mentoring to help its members fly simulated (Hood) missions or in actual instrument meteorological conditions.

Pilots and instructors will meet on a regular basis to discuss topics related to instrument flying.  Weather and local approaches will be studied in great detail. Actual flying missions will be designed on a gradual scale of complexity including real world scenarios.  As the pilots progress in understanding and confidence the missions will include multiple re-routing from ATC, surveillance approach procedures, and more complex weather decisions.
