Planning a mountain flight suggestions?
Hello all, about a 200 hour private pilot and getting close to finishing IFR soon and I'm looking for some advice about a flight I may be taking on. My family is going to be taking a vacation in the Mountains in the Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee area. The flight would entail us flying from Florida to the 1A3 airport. With all my training in Florida I have virtually no experience in mountain flying but have read some books on the subject. The other option was the 24A airport but I immediately through that idea out as being beyond my skill level. Anyway, if I were to approach the 1A3 airport from the south it doesn't appear to have too much challenging terrain in the area and I think it is definitely within my skill range along with the performance of the aircraft. I'm just looking to get an opinion on if this airport is something that would require dedicated mountain training? Also what would be some things to keep in mind if I decided to take on the flight? Thanks for any knowledge you guys have to offer.
