High Sierra Fly-In visitor's guide

East of the Rockies

Backcountry for the rest of the country

If you break down the essence of what the backcountry is all about, you can find it almost anywhere.

Keeping it clean

Airplanes venturing away from airports pick up mud, dust, sand, grass, insects, and more. These tips will help you keep it looking good and running right.

Look, listen, speak for backcountry safety

Safe backcountry flying requires more communication than you might think, with a heaping helping of anticipation that you may not be alone out there.

Beware of thin air

If you're flying in high terrain and into and out of airports at higher elevations, pay close attention to the density altitude.
