IMC Club Membership

[Glory Aulik]

I would like to register for the IMC Club, but once I log into the EAA site and then hit join EAA IMC, it just takes me to a general membership page, and there is no place to register fro the IMC Club. I would like to get registered, so I can register in the "Find someone to fly with" section. I amcurrently working on my Instrument rating and am hoping to connect up with others as a safety pilot and who could be a safety pilot for me.

If you're an existing EAA member, you're automatically registered for IMC Club. Try logging into your EAA account online and confirming your EAA member number is entered under your account information. Once you are logged in, you will have access to all IMC Club information.

Ken, the registration for IMC Club within your profile should be active some time within next few weeks. Our IT department is working hard to get all the projects competed and the IMC Club is not the only one ;-)

As far as the registration for the SAFEBOOK... it is a little more involved. We are moving the entire database from our old IMC Club servers to EAA. I will let everyone know once it is complited. For now we can only search for people who signed up before November 2nd

What is SAFEBOOK?

Does anyone have a status on the website that would allow us to sign up for IMC Club? We are a new club at KHTL and I am trying to keep the members up to date on when we can actually register.

Chippy, thank you! A very good question. Our IT is working on it as we speak. I don't want to make any promises here but I hope there will be an additional checkbox in everybody's profile to mark "IMC Club Member" no later then by the AirVenture 2016. To create that box itself is apparently very easy but to be able to use that information in the future, that is the challenge to connect it to appropriate database. They already were able to design a very nice Chapter Map with IMC Clubs on them: http://www.eaa.org/apps/chapters/chaptermap.aspx have you seen it yet?

[Chippy]

I have seen that and we have started our own club but it seems like some of the benefits may not be available without actually being a registered member of the IMC Club.

What is SAFEBOOK?

Tommy, SAFEBOOK is our database with pilots willing to serve as a safety pilots for others. It is in the IMC Club member resource page and you can search by ZIP, distance and some other criteria.

New question: Can someone who is not an EAA National member be a member of the IMC club. In other words, do we require EAA membership to participate (other than as a guest)?

[Brent]

Are IMC members required to be EAA members? Our chapter is sponsoring am IMC club and paying $300/year to provide meeting space. While we know Chapter membership is not required it seems that national EAA membership is required. Please let us know the requirements.

Hi Brent - Great question!

Yes, in order to be an IMC member you must join EAA. However, if you are already and EAA member you are automatically an IMC member.

Does that answer your question?
