Wrong. You fly on the downwind side, also known as the updraft side.
If you lose your engine and you are in a downdraft just how smart is that? You don't knowingly fly in downdrafts, unless of course you want to go down. I guess we'll agree to differ. I live in the mountains. All of my flying is in the mountains. I did my mountain flying training with some of the best. I'll do it exactly the way I explained in my last post. And I will admit that what you are describing is the way that most 300 hour flight instructors in the USA are taught to teach it. But I did my mountain flying training with two Alaska bush pilots who are two of the best. And they taught me consistently, never fly on the more favourable side - because you have nowhere to go if you need to turn. You should ALWAYS be able to turn into lift when flying canyons. That's fine. This group is all about difference of opinion and debate - that's how we learn. This time, we just happen to be on different sides of the question ![]() Tony Tony Roberts PP-ASEL VFR OTT Night Cessna 172H C-GICE |
