EAA VMC Club Arizona The EAA VMC Club offers monthly meetings in which pilots can network and share knowledge and experie

The VMC Club is modeled after the popular IMC Club concept which provides organized “hangar flying” focused on building proficiency in instrument flying. The VMC Club will do the same, but for pilots who are not instrument rated and fly primarily under visual flight rules in VMC. Meetings are held once a month at the Chandler Municipal Airport Terminal and open to all pilots free of charge.

Flight training is changing faster than it has in a generation, and the schools that see what's coming are the ones that will thrive. In this presentation, Redbird Flight COO Josh Harnagel takes the data behind "The State of Flight Training" and digs into what it really means for flight schools, uni...

On July 26, 2018, a pilot preflighting his Cessna 182 at Cleveland Regional Jetport had his ignition key in his pocket, and the engine still started. The switch wasn't fully in the OFF position. It was caught in an intermediate position between OFF and RIGHT, just enough to leave the right magneto's P-lead ungrounded. The prop came around without warning. The pilot did not survive.

That key-operated ignition switch in most single-engine pistons isn't as safe as it looks. There are two designs in widespread use, each with different failure modes and ADs, but one failure mode is not addressed by any of those ADs.

The takeaway is simple: treat the magnetos as hot, always, regardless of where the switch is or whether the key is in your pocket. This goes for your mechanics too. A significant number of prop-strike incidents happen on the ground during maintenance, because someone assumed the mags were safe.

You’re looking at a secret. Just a sliver of my tail… but enough to tell you this paint scheme is going to fly.

On Wednesday, Dec 17 at 10:00 AM, we’re revealing the full design live on YouTube—on the anniversary of the Wright brothers’ first powered flight. Aviation history in the morning… and a brand-new chapter by noon.

Why the suspense? Because I wasn’t built to blend in. I was built to prove something—with every rivet and every mile—that disability doesn’t mean inability.  

And here’s the bigger mission in the background: Rightfooted Foundation International (RFI) has a 2:1 match challenge through December 31—every dollar becomes three to help finish me and support people without arms (up to $15,000 matched). 

Aviators… builders… dreamers… this is your invitation to be part of the logbook entry.
