Hmmmm...I wonder why they're within the FAA's Eastern Designated
*Mountainous* Area then?


People in D.C. don't know what a mountain is?


I presume you're speaking of the FAA. Most of the technical stuff is
headquartered in OKC. And, yes, those folks know a whole lot about
mountains, terrain effect, altimeter errors, and so forth.


Okies have even less of an idea of what a mountain is.

I suspect it is you who don't have a firm grasp on what
constitutes mountainous terrain.


I spent a good portion of my life in Colorado and currently
live at the base of the Sierras. I do believe I recognize
a /real/ mountain when I see one.

You on the other hand are very gullible when it comes to
having your chain yanked.

I know a lot of folks who live in Bishop, California that don't know
squat about mountains and their effect on aircraft. You sound like one
of them.

I spent a year of my life in Alaska. In Alaska they have /real/
mountains, 16 peaks are higher than the highest Western US peak! Of
course, that's relative in size to Western and Eastern mountainous
areas. Other parts of the world have mountains that make US mountains
seem small in comparison. They can all create the same problems for
aviators, just in different levels of difficulty. If it's labeled a
mountain, you just have to treat it with respect!

Not the Okies that work in the TERPs sections at the Okie Air Academy.

I didn't write any of the above lines.
This transplanted Okie knows a lot about both mountains and TERPs.
