The problem is, because of this concern, most pilots never get to enjoy flying and visiting some of the most fantastic places on Earth. Mountain Flying Bible is the first step towards solving that problem. In it, Sparky Anderson will not just brief you, but thoroughly explain the conditions and problems that may be encountered at high altitudes in close proximity to the ground.

This book is in-depth, complete, and highly illustrated. Whether your mountain flying takes you through the 14,000' peaks of Colorado, or the rolling hills of the Ozarks, one thing is for sure: It will make you a better pilot. I've been flying the high mountains for over 12 years. Even still, on the first page, I learned something important.

Mountain flying takes place in a demanding, challenging and sometimes hostile environment that has always demanded its own rules and an entirely different set of skills than flatland flying.

Pilots have relied on Imeson's book, Mountain Flying, for over 30 years. Then they changed to his new Mountain Flying Bible containing 100-percent new information in 1998. It is now jam-packed with more science, advice, illustrations and photos.

Whether you fly in the mountains for an exhilarating thrill or from necessity, you must know the basics of mountain flight. There is no other author who is so well qualified to give you that extra edge to become a real mountain pilot.

Imeson's strength as a writer, teacher and mountain pilot lends to a clear, concise style that is not only thorough, but also fun to read. A new concept of using icons to identify and clarify important information has been used throughout the book. These include “remember,” “warning,” “rule of thumb,” “note,” and “advanced” icons.

Imeson hails from Jackson Hole, Wyo. where skills in mountain flying are imperative. His interest in flight safety has led to an impressive list of accomplishments. Imeson was recently chosen as one of the experts to develop a new curriculum for the Civil Air Patrol mountain search pilots.

F.E. Potts, author of F.E. Potts' Guide to Bush Flying, states, “Without question the best book I have ever read on the subject – it should be a part of every serious pilot's personal library.”
