DISCOVER THE BACKCOUNTRY
IF YOU ARE READY TO EMBARK ON A NEW FLYING
ADVENTURE, THINK BACKCOUNTRY. Not only is the
experience thrilling in every way-when you approach it with
the right training, equipment, and mindset, you'll encounter
breathtaking views while exploring the pristine countryside.
Here are some key considerations to get you started.
* Enlist the help of an experienced backcountry
flight instructor to become proficient in mountain
flying techniques.
* Talk to pilots local to the area and benefit from their tips
and experience.
* Dress for the weather.
* Carry emergency equipment and a first-aid kit.
* Plan ahead for fuel and food as backcountry fields can be
remote and often don't offer services.
* Study local weather patterns. Mountain weather can
change quickly from passable to treacherous.
* Depending on temperature and humidity, be prepared to
understand and deal with high density altitude.
BACKCOUNTRY RESOURCE CENTER
To help you enjoy a safe adventure, visit the AOPA Air
Safety Institute Backcountry Resource Center that
delves deeper into the various components of backcountry
flying, including our responsibility for its stewardship.
Also, find links to nationwide and local backcountry
airfield and airstrip guides. You'll be pleasantly surprised
that there are plenty of backcountry strips all across the
United States, from east to west and north to south.
Get to know the backcountry and have a safe and
enjoyable flight!
