Webinar | Flying the Backcountry EP:1

It’s no secret: Backcountry and mountain flying have gained tremendous popularity in recent years. Pilots who participate have myriad reasons for doing so-a new challenge, a great way to sharpen their flying skills, breathtaking views, and a chance to get off the grid for the ultimate feel of freedom.
Whatever the reason, the allure of flying the backcountry is undeniable, but flying in the backcountry comes with a unique set of challenges, and therefore, risks. Be sure to join us to hear from backcountry experts about what it takes to be a safe and successful backcountry aviator.

For a while, I was among the many folks addicted to Mark's manic build videos and his *"back to work!"* catchphrase. But here it's all good, solid, sound advice which all participants delivered quite cheerfully. Outstanding video!

Great content. A little constructive feedback: all three need a better mic for something like this with the ASI's name on it. McSpadden sounded decent, but quiet. Patey sounded like he was in a bathroom stall. And husky guy sounded like the grown-ups on the Charlie Brown Christmas Special; I would have loved to hear what he had to say.

I agree. Video beginners ignore the importance of audio. IMO audio quality is MORE important than video quality. Mark and Todd suffer from room echo. Todd suffers from insufficient treble and probably bass distortion. Use of good directional desk mics or lavalier mics would help.

There’s a lot of great information in this webinar. A theme which ties everything together is best summed up by Mark’s statement. “Know your limits, know the limits of your aircraft, know where they reside together, and never exceed either” Thanks for putting this out there!

Don’t tell the FAA about inspection passes though.

Gaia is also a good app to determine land ownership. They also have a VFR Sectional layer.

Great episode, one recommendation is to make the video of you guys larger and equal to the size of the slides so we can actually see who is talking when on mobile
