If you ever plan to fly in the mountains or at high altitudes, this seminar is for you. Learn about the preparation and planning needed for mountain flying. Among other topics, we'll discuss mountain weather, handling updrafts, down drafts, and other flight hazards, emergency equipment, making a survivable emergency landing, oxygen requirements, and the effects of high density altitude on aircraft performance.

Presenter Scott Stauter holds Gold Seal CFI, CFII, MEI, and AGI certificates. He has done extensive mountain flying in both the Sierras and Rocky Mountains. Among many other achievements, Scott has successfully landed at and taken off from "North America's Highest Paved Airport," Leadville, Colorado, located at an elevation of 9,927 feet.  He will cover the planning and execution of safe flights in mountainous areas.

NOTE: As a reminder; Pilot Airspace Deviations continue to be a major risk in the national airspace system.  To reduce the chance that you might be involved in an airspace deviation incident, you are highly encouraged to take an on-line learning center course on http://www.faasafety.gov/.  Or search the learning library for associated guidance on airspace incursions.  Remember, safe and prudent airmen have superior situational awareness, and have a plan to keep it that way.
