I can do a one-day one-on-one, with 7 hours of mountain flying, ridge
crossing, mountain wave surfing, lift and sink identification and
FUN... in one day. :-) It does not make one a "mountain pilot", but
will give you a good feel about how to navigate, routes to take, which
side of the canyon to fly on and how to select altitudes and emergency
landing sites.

Wow, this sounds very valuable and certainly would be much more knowledge
than I currently have about the subject. I will definitely look at my
schedule for my time in Denver to see if I can fit it in. Thanks.

Excellent. I have bookmarked the site and will be doing a lot of reading
this weekend. Thanks!

Antionio,
Sorry to throw you off, but the "Mountain Flying" book was written
35-years ago. I've learned something in that time and have observed
rotors along the Front Range between 25,000- and 30,000-feet MSL.
Usually the destructive turbulence associated with the rotor does not
extend more than a 1,000 feet or so above the ridge line.

Thanks for the update, Sparky!

What you say does not actually throw me off at all. I realize that
there can be turbulence of all sorts at high altitudes in any
direction-- including circular ( as beneath a wave or as a result of the
jet stream) . But, in your expert opinion, does the bona-fide rotor
cloud with the characteristic "sawblade" appearance ever show it's ugly
face at high altitude?

Thanks,

Antonio

Blue skies and tail winds,

As coincidence would have it, the aviation safety seminar in Ithaca, NY
(central NY State) I attended this past Saturday titled "Mountain Flying"
featured none other than this mountain flying expert, Sparky Imeson.

A very education and enjoyable seminar with lots of scenic aviation photos
and this is one incredibly experienced pilot. He just needs a more
reliable laptop to run his MS Powerpoint slideshow. :-)
