Reminds the pilot to consider ALL aspects of mountain flying

This is a good book that reminds the pilot to consider all aspect of mountain flying, not just the challenges of high altitude, unusual approaches and short airstrips. There is significant information about aircraft performance at high density altitudes, special weather considerations in the mountains, techniques for evaluating mountain airstrips, flying non-standard approach patterns. It is not as exciting a read, nor does it give as much attention to specific aircraft handling skills as F.E. Potts' "Guide to Bush Flying," but is the recognized standard for an armchair introduction to piloting an aircraft in the mountains and should find a place on any pilot's bookshelf.
