NMPA Mountain Flying Clinic
September 27, 28, 29
Taos, New Mexico

Annually, NMPA presents a basic mountain flying course in how to safely navigate
mountainous areas. The ground school will give you the tools to understand and deal with the
additional challenges of mountain flying. It includes three segments: Basic Mountain Flying,
Use of Technology in Mountain Flying, and Survival, taught by three different instructors.
In addition, you may elect to fly over a course designed to give you actual experience flying in
the mountain passes, landing at high altitude airports, and flying with an experienced
mountain flying instructor. Successfully completed, this will also earn you a Biennial Flight
Review (BFR). Some insurance companies also will discount your premium for attending this
safety clinic.

Lunch and dinner on your own - you can purchase lunch and dinner at Old Martina’s, one of the better
