Mountain Flying Operations 4/13

There is another FAA Safety seminar coming up. This will be at PAO. The following is the descriptions.


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.
