Goal Is To Develop A Database Of 'Real-Life' Answers To
Instrument Flying Questions
IMC Club International announced the launch of "Knowledge
Drive" Monday in its Aviation Knowledge Base available on the
imcclubs.org website. The "Knowledge Drive" created by the IMC Club
is design as a library of a "real life" type questions and answers
for the General Aviation pilot population. Every question is routed
to a Certificated Flight Instructor for an answer which
subsequently is recorded in the database. All questions being asked
are screened automatically for availability of the subject already
answered.
"This database is question driven not textbook driven. Safety
and proficiency through exchange of experience is one of our
primary objectives of the IMC Club. Practical aspects of a flight
are as important, if not more so, as any textbook knowledge. I hope
this free knowledge source for pilots and student pilots alike will
grow by knowledge contribution of many experienced instructors as
well as pilots wanting to know more," said Radek Wyrzykowski,
President of IMC Club.
This IMC Club initiative is sponsored exclusively by BrightLine
Bags, Inc. Flight bag. This bag, initially introduced to the market
in 2007, has now become the number-one-selling flight bag in the
United States, and is used by recreational, commercial and military
pilots in 65 countries world-wide. Pilots asking questions, and
therefore helping in populating of this innovative "Aviation
Knowledge Base" project, will be automatically entered in a drawing
for a free BrightLine flight bag. Drawing will take place on June
11, 2011. All participants will also receive a coupon for
substantial discount from BrightLine Aviation. Pilots can enter the
contest by asking as many aviation related questions as they want
therefore increasing their chances to win a free BrightLine
Bag.
The IMC Club is a membership based Non-Profit 501(c)(3)
organization focused on instrument rated pilots and flight
instructors, with a network of chapters throughout the nation. IMC
Club intent is to create a community of pilots in order to share
information, provide recognition, foster communications, promote
safety and build proficiency in instrument flying.
