Episode 53: The Mountain Flying Handbook (w/ Simon Wittinger)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A native of the Swiss Alps, Simon Wittinger is the author of The Mountain Flying Handbook. First published in 2020, the book is a comprehensive guide to operating at high altitude. It’s been praised by the helicopter community at large, and even been endorsed by EASA.
In this conversation, I’ll speak with Simon about the process of writing the book. He’ll take us inside his experience as a mountain pilot, explain some common errors people make when flying in the mountains, and much more.
