Mountain flying knowledge required?

seek out some mountain flying instruction?

To answer your question directly, I think based on what you have
described
that if you take time to flight plan rigorously, try to stay day VFR,
and
read a good mountain flying book like Sparky Imerson's you'll be good
to go
without specific mountain flying instruction. That said, getting
some extra
instructional time in new conditions is always a good thing, but I
think in
your case not strictly required if you study up.

Hi Peter,
You can save some money by going to my web site for information on
mountain flying instead of buying the book. By the way, there is a new
Mountain Flying Bible Revised (with 16 pages of color photos operating
at backcountry strips) coming out in 3 days. Try

Sparky! You in a usenet forum! Can you handle it?

Best regards,

Excellent. I have bookmarked the site and will be doing a lot of reading
this weekend. Thanks!

Blue skies and tail winds,

As coincidence would have it, the aviation safety seminar in Ithaca, NY
(central NY State) I attended this past Saturday titled "Mountain Flying"
featured none other than this mountain flying expert, Sparky Imeson.

A very education and enjoyable seminar with lots of scenic aviation photos
and this is one incredibly experienced pilot. He just needs a more
reliable laptop to run his MS Powerpoint slideshow. :-)
