Hey Guys and Gals
I cut my teath in the bush or rather remote area operations.
First thing, it is not dangerous as most people think. It does become become dangerous when pilots start pushing their limits and the limits of the plane. To find your own limits you have to start somewhere.
Problems start when guys become familiar with their plane and play around, I have heard of guys playing around with pax onboard, which in my books is poor form. If you want to play around get an aerobatic rating, or at least don't risk others lives.
Going into and out of bushstrips is the fun part. They can be challenging, you just have to keep your wits about you and make a decision. If you are not happy remove some weight before T/O or go around and try again. Never allow any operator to force you into something you're not happy about.
If there is doubt, there is no doubt!
Keep it safe and everyone stays alive and is happy.
Good luck to you just starting out!!!
