207WF Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Josjonkers: Why don't you turn on the cockpit light the next time you make one of these. I think it would enhance the video. Pretty nice flying, though.... WF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlfpckrs Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Beautiful country! What were the typical and highest elevations through the mountains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runtoeat Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Josjonkers, those are very beautiful but very rugged mountains. How long have you been flying in the mountains? This is a place you really have to know what you're doing. No room for errors in this terrain. Good advertisement for FD reliability! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josjonkers Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Cockpit light??? I guess maybe that is that hidden switch behind the seat cushion? I agree that the panel looks dark. Maybe due to all the ambient light from outside (snow reflection??). For flying here it helps to know where the valleys end up and yes, you may have to wait a day or two to make sure wind conditions are favorable to venture out. Valley floors around 5000 feet and up and gaps in ridges around 9000ft. It all can be done fairly sag=fely and the key factor is that somedays you have to just say "hmm, maybe I will try this another day" and in summer with the very long days with sunsets after 10pm, either go early or later in the day. Glad you enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
