Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Mountain Flying

"The novice mountain pilot should plan to fly 2,000 feet above the
terrain along the route of flight. When approaching within ½ to ¼
mile from the mountain ridges, turn to approach the ridge at a 45-
degree angle. This permits an easy escape with less stress on the
airplane if downdrafts or turbulence are encountered. Never fly in a
canyon where there is not room to turn around."
