IMC Club Meeting

Saturday, January 3 at 10am (new winter hours !)

In person or online

JANUARY TOPIC:  We’ll be discussing one of the most common reasons for IFR accidents: Loss of Control in Flight, and share some strategies for reducing that risk in our GA IFR flying.

IMC Club (Tacoma Narrows and Bremerton National) meets monthly for guided, participatory discussions (also known as "hangar talks") focused on real scenarios in the real world IFR environment. We share ideas and safety tips on how best to deal with specific IFR challenges. 

Our objective: continually improve proficiency in IFR flying for pilots at ALL experience levels. This seminar is eligible for WINGS credit. Pilots of all skill levels and experience from student pilot to ATP are welcome to participate in our scenario-based discussion.

The Bremerton Pilots Association is a western Puget Sound chapter of the Washington Pilots Association whose membership is comprised of private and commercial pilots, friends of aviation, and members of aviation-related organizations who are based at Bremerton National Airport or who frequent the facility.

The Association sponsors many annual activities and safety programs, including a robust Youth Aviation Scholarship.

When you join the Bremerton Pilots Association, as a bonus you automatically become a member of the Washington Pilots Association. Your dues for either organization covers membership in both organizations, and as an added benefit you have free use of the Stuart Island vacation cabin.

WHAT WE DO

The BPA hosts a monthly IMC Club meeting. Local pilot and aircraft owner Eric Rubel, CFII, does an outstanding job of moderating these informative sessions. Tune in on the first Saturday of each month to learn and chat with fellow pilots about challenging everyday instrument flight scenarios.

FLY
Fly-Ins and Fly-Outs

Typically the BPA holds multiple events each year, including hangar parties, workshops, fundraisers, and frequent fly-outs. As the changing seasons bring us into better weather, check BPA's Events page for updated information on fly-ins and fly-outs.

ADVOCATE
Scholarships, Community Connection

Part of keeping aviation alive and healthy is promoting the love of aviation throughout the community, especially in our younger generation.

For many years the Bremerton Pilots Association has sponsored and coordinated the Youth Aviation Scholarship Program, which has resulted in numerous new pilots among our ranks.
