Topic:
Introduction For Pilots Learning To Fly In Mountainous Terrain.
Brief Description:
Flying in the mountains, between and alongside snow-capped peaks, can be the highlight of pilot’s logbook entries. We will discuss topics such mountain influenced weather, mountain flying techniques, mountain airports, a review of density altitude, planning a flight in mountainous terrain, a few survival tips and how to make that go-no go decision. Mountain flying with proper preparation is safe, extremely memorable and rewarding, but only you can make it happen.
