#S2 E5 - Mountain flying in the European Alps with Dimitri Bella (AFPM - vice president) and Stefan Rabensteiner (ÖGPV - president)

Charter of the (European) Mountain Pilot:

As mountain pilot, I shall:

LOVE AVIATION FREEDOM and respect the freedom of others.

PREPARE MYSELF CONSCIOUSLY FOR MOUNTAIN LANDINGS by going on recce hikes.

AVOID NOISE DURING MY MOUNTAIN FLIGHTS so that others can also enjoy the mountains.

CAREFULLY BACK OFF when others want to enjoy the solitary silence.

NEVER AFRAID THE FAUNA and avoid flying over mountain huts, alpine pastures, and mountain villages.

NEVER DESTROY THE FLORA and enjoy the flowery alpine meadows.

RETURN FROM THE MOUNTAINS and join clubs to jointly preserve this freedom of flight.

MAKE MY CONTRIBUTION TO EUROPEAN MOUNTAIN PILOTS ASSOCIATIONS THROUGH COMMITMENT and preserve aviation glory.
