Default Norway fjords flying

Not sure what you mean. You don your life vest, get in the plane and
go.


And show up in the news. A potentially very dangerous advice.

I've never flown in Norway myself, but judging from photos, discussions
and general geographical knowledge, flying the fjords is pretty much
mountain flying (albeit a sea level). So be sure to know the appropriate
basics.

Additionally, the coast is oriented to the west, which means it's toward
the weather side. Expect rapid weather changes which, together with the
aforementioned fiords, most probably bear their own traps.

If you're experienced in mountains, then you probably should be able to
figure that out on your own. Otherwise, I would strongly suggest to hire
a flight instructor who can introduce you to the particularities.

If you understand some German, there's a short report in a German forum
http://www.eddh.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=736
(It's the third, the long, article. If you don't understand German, then
maybe you can attempt to extract some sense from a babeljoke
"translation".) You'll find some links there, too, and the pilot who
wrote that report will probably agree to answer some questions, if you
politely contact him by e-mail.

As for the information about flight rules particularities: The general
section of the Bottlang Airfield Manual should cover that, or, of
course, the Norwegian AIP.
