Awareness
of the dangers of mountain flying

Flying in mountainous terrain carries risks that most pilots know little or nothing about: aerology, high altitude, external references, reduced performance, aircraft manoeuvrability. The “Mountain awareness” course was created to strengthen the basic mountain flying knowledge and skills of students in training and of pilots without a mountain rating.

Objectives

  • Understanding the different aspects and dangers of mountain flying
  • Flying safely in our mountain environment with the necessary safety margins.

Programme: theory training + 1 flight
