Default Mountain Flying

Not exactly, but I have flown with experienced pilots and have landed
at every charted airport in Colorado mountains and most of the
backcountry airports in Idaho. Idaho technique is a bit different than
what is taught in Colorado. In Idaho they tend to fly full patterns in
some pretty restricted areas. Colorado seems to advocate more "straight
in" approaches. I have done both. Both work. Biggest issue to me is the
answer to the question "Is there a go around?". If not, the
seriousness of the approach goes up immensely. Stay safe out there.
