IMC Ground Examination
A written paper consisting of 25 multi-choice questions covering the IMC theoretical knowledge training. The pass mark is 72%. The examination must be passed within 12 months preceding the date of application.
IMC. See instrument meteorological conditions.
Indicated airspeed (IAS). Shown on the dial of the instrument airspeed indicator on an aircraft. Directly related to calibrated airspeed (CAS), IAS includes instrument errors and position error.
IMC - instrument meteorological conditions: weather below VMC minima, see below. Also associated rating used in conjunction with UK PPL.
INCERFA - uncertainty phase of search-and-rescue procedure.
IMC (Instrument Meteorological Conditions) Weather conditions that preclude visual flight. Clouds, fog, heavy precipitation, smoke, and volcanic ash can all produce IMC.
IMC: Instrument Meteriological Conditions - Weather that requires flight by instruments.
In the soup: Slang for flying with no visibility because of weather. (see 'actual') ...

Instrument Meteo Conditions (weather requiring IFR flight)
IMMELMANN
A maneuver originally used to reverse direction in combat. The airplane noses up and over onto its back. It then rolls upright and continues in the di...
IMC-
(See INSTRUMENT METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS.)
IMMEDIATELY- Used by ATC when such action compliance is required to avoid an imminent situation.
IMC
Inertial Navigation System - A gyroscope based system that senses aircraft lateral acceleration thereby providing navigation information. Modern INSs use GPS inputs to correct gyroscopic drift errors.
Instrument Meteorological Conditions are more commonly referred to in the aviation world as 'IMC.
An exception would be a helicopter being flown on instruments in IMC, but these aircraft typically have redundant sources of electrical power.
Checking for overvoltage ...
Regarding the other question about IMC or VMC, if you can't control the airplane by outside references then you should tell the controller that you're in IMC.
Instrument approaches are generally designed such that a pilot of an aircraft in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), by the means of radio, GPS or INS navigation with no assistance from air traffic control, can navigate to the airport, ...
Winters in northeast Ohio are not exactly conducive to training, but I did end up with about 15 hours flying in actual instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), which sure beats wearing foggles! ...
Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC)
Weather conditions bad enough that the pilot is controlling the aircraft only by reference to instruments. Basically a pilot in IMC is in a cloud, although there are other places where IMC can prevail.
Pilot-error accidents in the PA-28 follow a lamentable and preventable pattern: visual flight rules (VFR) and instrument flight rules-rated (IFR) pilots flying VFR into instrument meteorological conditions (IMC); ...
INSTRUMENT METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (IMC). Weather worse than 1500 feet ceiling or 3 NM visibility. IMC requires use of IFR.
