Mountain Aviation refers to the practice of flying aircraft in mountainous regions, which presents specific challenges and considerations due to the terrain. This term often encompasses both the operational aspects of aviation in such areas, including navigation, flight planning, and safety protocols, as well as the type of aircraft used that are suited for rugged environments. Mountain aviation may also include specialized services such as air rescues, firefighting, and transportation in remote locations where traditional land access is limited. It emphasizes the need for pilots and flight crews to have additional training and experience to deal with the unpredictable weather, altitude, and terrain variations common in mountainous areas.
