Mountain flying

by Sparky Imeson

The following contains thoughts, advice, warnings, data of interest, and possible courses of action for the pilot to keep in mind when flying in mountainous terrain. Mountain flying is fun and plenty safe too..if good judgment is exercised. Good judgment in this case includes the use of proper technique. Wariness must be an ever present condition among pilots who make mountain flights. And, this trait is usually an acquired characteristic that is always found in the best pilots. The wariness represents an acute awareness of all the hazards, dangers, and special conditions inherent in mountain flight. Complete recognition and awareness of these factors result in a mental posture, cultivated by knowledge and nurtured through experience, that spells the difference between an excellent professional pilot and one who may be an accident waiting to happen.
