IMC Monthly Inaugural Issue Peter Conant, Editor
As a pilot who is interested in every aspect of flying, I am very pleased to welcome
you to this first issue of The IMC Monthly. We at the IMC Clubs hope to bring you
interesting articles which are aimed at helping all pilots better understand the world
of IFR, the airplanes we fly, the available technologies we use and the regulatory envi-
ronment we inhabit.

my hands on and now have quite a library of books on everything from Aerobatics to
Zulu time. And I’ve always envied the editors of Flying magazine and AOPA Pilot,
who have the best jobs in the world, in my opinion. But now with Internet access to
literally thousands of Web sites it is a treat for me to be able to browse the world of
aviation literature and select articles, podcasts and videos which hopefully benefit
both novice pilots and old–timers like me. For retrieval and dissemination of up to
date information, the good old days weren’t all that good.
