SUMMARY:Crosswind Confidence - Alan Zielinski\, DPE\, ATP\, CFII
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to have Alan Zielinski present his tips and tricks for mastering crosswinds. Alan has given this topic considerable time as it ruins many too many airplanes every year. Because\, if there is a single word Alan would want to be identified – and wants you to embrace – it would be “curious.” Making good landings is great\, understanding the principles and being able to explain them is yet another skill entirely. Similar to how we have (hopefully) come to understand how the stabilized approach is a critical success factor\, choosing the best runway and the entry when we have significant crosswinds are the first two components to mastering this essential skill. \nBiography: Alan Zielinski \nAlan is a well-known FAA Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) and flight instructor in the Great Chicago area for aircraft and balloons. As a single-engine and jet pilot\, instructor\, and examiner\, he has over 11\,000 hours of accident-free flying experience. He is one of us\, an aviation addict\, flying his own Cessna Skylane and his client’s Cessna Citation\, as well as gliders and balloons\, clearly\, Alan has a passion for flying! He is also the president of the Chicago Flight Instructor Association\, advancing the knowledge\, understanding\, and capabilities of the local rank-and-file instructors. \nAlan has been awarded “The Spence Award” by the Chicago Flight Examiners Association and “The Theo Award” by Chicago Flight Instructors Association for his contributions to aviation safety and leadership within the aviation community.

SUMMARY:Learn the difference between practicing for an engine failure and really experiencing one
DESCRIPTION:Ask any pilot what scares them most\, and a catastrophic engine failure is probably near the top of the list. In April 2022\, Marc Epner was flying his Cirrus SR-22 to Akron\, Ohio from PWK at about 1\,500 AGL. About halfway there\, he quizzed himself about what he’d do if the engine quit. Little did he know that 30 minutes later he’d be tasked with handling that exact emergency … for real. \nSpoiler alert: no one was hurt. Marc says he was surprised by his reaction and is excited to share what he learned from the incident with other pilots. It’s a night you won’t want to miss. \nSpeaker Bio: \nMarc Epner is a Chicago-based pilot\, who started his love affair with aviation when he was a young boy growing up in the southern suburbs of Chicago.  After earning his private pilot license in 1976\, Marc lost his medical in 1979 and didn’t set foot in a general aviation airplane until 2004\, a full 25 years later.  That flight rekindled his passion for aviation and has since accumulated over 2300 hours\, earned multiple ratings\, purchased a Cirrus SR22\, co-founded Leading Edge Flying Club at Chicago Executive airport\, is co-host of the SimpleFlight Radio podcast and active with his “Passion for Flying” YouTube Channel.  Marc loves to talk aviation and has been asked to speak to a variety of audiences in venues like Oshkosh AirVenture\, Sun-N-Fun\, Community Fly-Ins\, and others. \nEligible for FAASafety WINGS credit.

SUMMARY:IMC Club PWK by CEPA - Windy City Weather - Michael Baraz
DESCRIPTION: You live in Sheboygan and your sister (a C-130 pilot) and her husband are coming for a visit. The plan is for them to fly by airline to Chicago Midway and you fly down there in your club’s SR22 and pick them up. It’s three days out and the weather is questionable. You’ve only recently been checked out in the SR22 but there is also a Skyhawk that you are reasonably comfortable flying IFR. If it doesn’t look like the weather will hold up for you to make the trip to Chicago\, your sister and brother-in-law could change their flight to Green Bay and get a car to drive down to Sheboygan. But they need to book tickets ASAP\, so you need to make a decision. \nWhat would you do? \n  \nSpeaker bio:  \nMichael Baraz is a newly minted CFII and holds an ATP certificate. He has a desk-bound day job and flies and instructs whenever he can get away. \nMichael is also the president of the Chicago Executive Pilot Association\, the sponsoring organization of this event\, and is always looking for pilots and would-be pilots to join CEPA and volunteer to bring safety events like this to the local pilot community. Can you help? \nCredit: \nWe thank PilotWorkshops.com for allow us to use their scenario.

SUMMARY:CEPA IMC Club - Flooded in the Air - January 2022
DESCRIPTION:PWK IMC Club presents Dave Klopfleisch\nJanuary 26\, 2022\, at 18:30-19:30 \nFlooded in the Air will\, in an IMC Club format\, address what might happen next after a twin-engine Beech 18S (Twin Beech) equipped with nearly the original steam gauge cockpit and two VORs flies through areas of heavy precipitation. As the big twin approaches its destination – Baltimore International Airport – a significant amount of water begins leaking through the windshield and soaks all the instruments. Electronic gear begins failing. Single or twin\, this could be you and we have to answer the IMC Club question always asked\, what would you do? \nAnd following the IMC Club\, through the WINGS Program and the FAA\, we will celebrate Dave’s lifetime achievement when he will be awarded The Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award. We would like to invite all attendees to participate and congratulate Dave on this incredible accomplishment. \nSpeaker bio: Dave Klopfleisch  \nDave started flying in 1966 at Roselle Airport\, now called Schaumburg Airport in Schaumburg\, IL. He served in the Navy from 1968-1974\, with his last duty station at Miramar\, CA. In the Navy\, Dave flew the TA-4\, single-engine attack jet. Afterward\, Dave worked for various corporate flight departments and served as the Safety Officer at the NAS Glenview Flying Club from 1993-1996. \nFlight Qualifications include: CFI and MEI\, ATP\, Part 121 Flight Dispatcher\, current Safety Officer at Chicago Executive Flight School \n  \n\n\nIMC Club: The IMC Club’s purpose is to promote instrument flying\, proficiency\, and safety. The intent is to create a community of pilots willing to share their perspective\, provide recognition\, foster communications\, promote safety\, and build proficiency in instrument flying. An IFR rating is not needed to participate in this excellent forum where we think through the various options from the comfort of your chair\, firmly on the ground… before it is you sitting in the cockpit. \nWe meet monthly when pilots (and would-be pilots) network and share knowledge and experiences to keep our heads in the game. \n\n\n\nOnline Registration\n           In Person          \n\n\n\nClick here for more information on FAASafety WINGS. \nTo attend the online meeting\, please register by clicking the blue button\, above.

SUMMARY:CEPA IMC Club - October 2021
DESCRIPTION:Monthly IMC Club at PWK – Marc Epner – Severely Shaken by Richmond \nTopic: Even the best plans can fall apart\, Ice and then turbulence\, what would you do?\n\nIt’s been a brutal flight. Every smart move to evade the ice\, and then the turbulence\, worked at first and then fell apart. You make the smart move to divert\, only to find the weather relents on final approach. Now you’re on the ground wondering if one more “smart” move would bring victory or catastrophe. \nSpeaker bio: Marc Epner is a 2\,200-hour instrument-rated pilot\, who earned his initial pilot rating in 1976. After a 25 year hiatus\, he rekindled his love of aviation in 2004\, became a partner in an SR-22\, helped to start Leading Edge Flying Club\, and co-hosts the Simple Flight Radio show\, a podcast now in its tenth season. Marc shares his passion and his advocacy for general aviation through his presentations\, writing\, and flying. Marc will present an IFR situation and lead an audience discussion of “What Would You Do?” different\, better\, safer\, smarter. Join in and help us all learn. \nA Safety Meeting presentation by Kyle Lewis (AOPA) will follow the IMC Club. \n\nIMC Club: The IMC Club’s purpose is to promote instrument flying\, proficiency\, and safety. The intent is to create a community of pilots willing to share their perspective\, provide recognition\, foster communications\, promote safety\, and build proficiency in instrument flying.
