Title:
Kingston Bi-Monthly Safety Event
Topic:
The Art of Mountian Flying
Speaker(s):
John Morrow, MCFI; Troy Dunn CFI/A&P; Gary Mulligan, CFI, Geoffrey Ring
Brief Description:
Flying in mountainous areas is challenging, not only because operational altitudes and winds are higher, but also because weather reporting and off airport landing opportunities are fewer than in other flight environments. While there are fewer accidents in mountainous areas than in the flat-lands, mountain flying accidents are more likely to result in fatalities.
Obviously experience in the mountain environment and knowledge of best mountain flying practices improves flight safety. Environment specific training and recent experience are essential to success.
While there aren't a lot of Colorado type mountain ranges in our region, we are going to apply these lessons to flying in the Adirondacks, Catskill and Appalachians. Bring your experiences, observations and lessons learned to this month's interactive discussion.
