The NMPA Mountain Flying Clinic consists of an eight hour online ground school on Friday, covering the tools necessary to understand and plan for the unique and rewarding challenges of mountain flying. The curriculum includes mountain flight planning, aircraft performance, mountain weather, aeromedical factors, risk management & survival, mountain communications, and mountain flight maneuvers. For more details of past clinics, click on the "Mountain Flying" tab on the NMPA Home page.

This announcement mainly serves as a calendar place holder for the date of the clinic. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and possible state-imposed restrictions on public gathering, it is unknown whether the Fall Clinic will be online only, or a combination of online and in-person instruction, and whether the option flight instruction portion of the clinic will be allowed. Registration will be opened at a later date as the situation becomes more clear during the summer of 2021.
