Brief Description:
Some of the most scenic yet some of the most dangerous flying occurs around mountainous terrain. And you don’t have to fly in the Rockies to find mountains. We have them right here in our backyard in New England. Do you know how to operate safely around mountainous terrain? What planning is necessary? We will use video and interactive discussion to explore the dangers of mountain flying and the procedures to stay safe. Join us for a discussion of information that could save your life!

Additional Event Information & Acknowledgement of Industry Sponsor(s):
Mountains have the ability to attract people whether it be by hiking, horseback, automobile or airplane. Those people who choose to encounter the mountains via airplane may be exposed to new and different flight situations.
Flight safety in the mountains is not an elusive or difficult concept, but it does require an awareness and understanding of the hazards associated with mountain flight to reduce the risk and bring about an enjoyable experience. Some of the information promoting safety is presented here.
