Mountain flying demands its own rules and an entirely different set of skills than flatland flying. The Mountain Flying Bible Revised by Sparky Imeson is the new comprehensive standard — jam-packed with updated advice, lore, science, and wisdom, including 16 pages of colour photos from Idaho backcountry airstrips.
For more than 40 years, pilots have relied on Imeson's mountain flying expertise. His clear, concise, and entertaining writing style makes this not only the most thorough resource available, but genuinely enjoyable to read.
All the hard-to-find information is combined in one useful volume, loaded with helpful icons and photographs that simplify mountain flying operations with clarity and authority.
