Title:
Mountain Flying at Flaming Gorge
Topic:
Mountain Flying – Staying Safe, Sharp, and Smiling at Mountain Airports
Brief Description:
Join us at Flaming Gorge Resort for a morning of mountain flying insights designed for pilots who love high country airstrips—or want to. This seminar-style session (10:00–11:30 AM) covers real-world techniques for density altitude, terrain, and weather challenges. Afterwards, stick around for hangar talk and lunch (food available for purchase at the resort).
We’re encouraging pilots to fly into Dutch John Airport (33U) for the event—field elevation 6,561’—and take our complimentary shuttle to the resort. FAA WINGS credit available.
