The articles and material on this website should not substitute for real flying experience. They are intended to help pilots operate with greater forethought and safety when flying in mountains and canyons anywhere. Like many other disciplines, this type of flying is a lifetime learning process. Although careful study of concepts and techniques is helpful, pilots are encouraged to seek instruction from a qualified and experienced pilot or CFI who is familiar with the area in which they intend to fly.
