Unique Mountain Flying Training
in marvelous Central Otago
New Zealand
What is mountain flying training?
Basically, mountain flying training is divided into 3 sections, which are terrain and weather awareness, basic mountain flying and advanced mountain flying. As mountainous terrain makes up over half of New Zealand, at some stage you will find yourself being affected by terrain no matter where you fly in this country. Pilots who operate regularly among the mountains have developed a special set of skills, knowledge, and flying techniques to help them survive.
If you wish to ensure a safe and enjoyable flight in, around, or over hills or mountains you must develop these skills, collect the knowledge and appreciate the factors involved. Above all, know your own limitations and those of your aircraft – and stick to them.
