Reaching the MDA and VDP at GON 1.7, you decide a missed approach is warranted. When can the missed approach procedure (climbing right turn) be initiated? EAA IMC Scenario ---------------- Are you prepared to respond to a situation involving birds during your IFR flight? Following are some links that might be of interest.

Weather conditions suggest that the flight might be safely conducted under VFR by remaining below the overcast. If the ceiling for the flight was 2,200 feet, could you fly VFR direct from GON to HFD at 1,500 feet? Main Discussion --------------- The biggest cause of pilot accidents - IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK! This presentation will discuss the hidden underlying cause of almost all general aviation accidents and fatalities and how we can improve general aviation safety. This presentation will absolutely challenge almost everything we've been taught about the causes of accidents. This presentation may change your understanding of causes behind accidents.

The wind is 090 at 8 knots. Can you now begin a straight-in descent and landing? What else can tell you when to start your descent? Scenario ======== Heres a day when the safety of flight is never in doubt. However, the future of your pilot certificate could be if you make the wrong decision. Is there a way to save time and help another pilot, or are you captive to the whims of regulation and a controllers limited access to weather information? Tuesday 2 August 2022 1830 1H0 Pilot Lounge
