Safety Tip Mountain flying 101 by Gary Pelach Flying in and around mountains can offer fantastic views, but it can be dangerous if you aren t familiar with flying at higher elevations. If you ve never flown in mountains, it s a good to take a mountain flying course that includes both ground training and flight training. Flight schools in highterrain areas usually offer hands-on training to help us flatlanders fly safely in the mountains. Not understanding the effects of high density altitude on aircraft performance is a major factor in mountain flying accidents. DENSITY ALTITUDE is the pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature caused by increases in temperature, decreases in atmospheric pressure, and/or increased humidity. High density altitude makes the air thinner, leading to less lift and reduced thrust, which have negative effects on performance. The mountains generate unusual and unpredictable weather patterns, with conditions changing in a matter of minutes. Strong winds across mountain ranges can cause extreme turbulence and create dangerous mountain waves and microbursts. And at night, mountain valleys are often filled with thick fog that limits visibility. As you plan your flight, be sure to pay close attention to forecasts and contact local airports to get the most current conditions. If the forecast or preps leave any doubt, SIT it OUT...!
