PREFLIGHT AFTER THE CHECKRIDE

HOW
Idaho has the
greatest number of
backcountry airstrips
of any state in the
lower 48. The late
Galen L. Hanselman's
Fly Idaho! guide is an
indispensable tool
for the pilot who
wants to explore
the backcountry.
The guide includes
two volumes-air
and ground-that
cover every airstrip,
along with photos,
topographic details,
amenities, and
history.
flyidaho.com
The Utah Backcountry
Pilots Association
lists 124 airstrips
in the state on its
website.

The Recreational
Aviation Foundation
(RAF) provides
information about
numerous airstrips
around the U.S.

INTO THE WILD
FLY THE BACKCOUNTRY
AOPA RESOURCES
AS BACKCOUNTRY AND MOUNTAIN FLYING CONTINUE TO GAIN POPULARITY, PILOTS HAVE MANY REASONS
for accepting the challenge-a great way to sharpen flying skills, breathtaking views, and a chance to get off
the grid for the ultimate feel of freedom. What sets backcountry flying apart from your everyday flying is the
unpredictable nature of the area in which you're operating. Challenges come in the form of changes in altitude,
density altitude, winds, turbulence, and aircraft performance depending on where and when you fly.
Then there are the challenges of airstrips tucked into canyons, rimmed with towering trees, or on a gravel
bar. Usually they are short, tight fields that challenge your short-field takeoff and landing skills. Additionally,
not every type of aircraft can be a backcountry flier. Before you consider a backcountry excursion, get additional
training. AOPA can help with resources, seminars, webinars, and much more.
