You lost me on the mixed metaphors bit, but thatīs not hard to do ;-)
I take your point though...!
Just for consistency.
I wouldnīt log a landing on a 700' hill sticking out of a 6500' plain as mountain time.
I log mountain ranges (more than an isolated hill) over 5000' as mountain time. I donīt log flying thru them or over them. Only if Iīm working the area consistently, seismic,drills,fires etc. With repetitive landings, departures or longline approaches.
Iīm not challenging anyoneīs right to call
anything a mountain. Iīm just a little surprised, I thought everyone thought mountains were over 5000'.
Beatīs me where I got the idea from....
There again it could have been the forms I've had to fill out for high elevation jobs, where the insurers want to know how much time you have
working above 5000' ...I thought this was what constituted a Mountain.
Iīm proven wrong, yet again!
170'
ps...sorry for the thread creep!
