PREFLIGHT TRAINING NEWS AND NOTES MOUNTAINS MAJESTY. Few places evoke the grandeur of the United States wilderness more eloquently than Alaska-and few destinations rank higher on any given pilot's bucket list. Alaska is a pilot's Mecca-a state so vast that general aviation is the preferred mode of transportation for people and goods. Planning a trip to Alaska means crossing Canadian airspace (and possibly a fuel stop) before returning to U.S. airspace, so international procedures for flying to Canada apply to that part of your trip. Careful flight planning is a must, but for those who venture north, the rewards are great.
