13. Obtaining the Seaplane Rating - Why You May Want to Do It - Where to Do It - and What to Expect - Saturday, December 13, 2025, starting at 19:00 Pacific Standard Time Download Calendar File - Speaker(s): Sal Valdes and Mary McEnroe - Getting your first rating as a pilot is a major milestone and with it you enjoy many privileges that land-locked humans don’t have. You can fly to many destinations that are arduous to get to when using conventional transportation. That first rating is often an Airplane Single Engine Land. But what if you are yearning for an adventure to land on a lake or other body of water?
Commercial pilot Sal Valdes, recent seaplane rated pilot along with Mary McEnroe, recipient of the Women Making a Splash scholarship will share their experience with flying seaplanes. In this seminar they will share the reasons why they embarked on a seaplane rating. Sal and Mary will provide insight into where they did their training, how to prepare for the seaplane rating itself and what the training involved.
If you have ever dreamed about landing on water and experiencing the additional freedom provided by a seaplane rating, please join us for this event. It just may inspire you to take that step to advancing your skills by adding a seaplane rating. -- Location of Seminar: San Carlos Flight Center, 795 Skyway Rd, Suite A, San Carlos, CA 94070 - Registration Information: Click here to register online now!

MOSAIC is done. After more than a decade of work by EAA, the FAA, and numerous others, MOSAIC (Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification) is now a final rule. A generation after the creation of the original Sport Pilot and Light-Sport Aircraft (LSA) rules, we now welcome Sport Pilot 2.0 and LSA 2.0. On October 22nd, 2025, about three-quarters of the general aviation fleet became accessible to sport pilots and students and those exercising Sport Pilot privileges.

20. IMC Club Meeting at Palomar Airport / EAA 286 - Our Typical Agenda Is to Spend an Hour Discussing Best Practices, New Technologies and Current Events. - Tuesday, January 20, 2026, starting at 18:30 Pacific Standard Time Download Calendar File - Speaker(s): Joe Godfrey, IMC Club Program Coordinator - After a brief Audio/Video presentation we ask "What Would You Do"? Everyone is encouraged to join in the discussion. Videos depicting actual flights that encountered challenges are chosen from a library provided by EAA and the presenter. In the ensuing discussion, often there's agreement on the steps to take, but that's not necessarily the goal - the value is in performing the mental exercise and developing an answer that's right for you.
Sometimes we argue it out - respectfully - and modify our plan of attack. The benefit is to think it through without the pressure of flying the plane. Pilots of all skill levels are encouraged to attend. Click the link below for more information and to register. - January's scenarios are an unexpected encounter with a low smoke layer on climebout while you're still VFR, and we view an approach from the controller's perspective -- dots on scopes.
