Malarky... oh god how do you explain that... something annoying I guess. that's how I meant it.

Mad Jock, of course, as much as I would love to win an award I could easily forgo a Darwin.

it's more from the legal angle I am interested. do airfields publish if they require it. let me put some context and it might help.

say I am flying to southern germany/northern switzerland/Austria at what point do the hills become mountains? There are some Swiss and Austrian airports that I would feel comfortable going to on a clear day because the terrain is mountainous but lower... I would not fly in the Davos area for example without a couple of experienced hands.

I would probably feel ok going over the pass south of innsbruck on a CAVOK day... but would this be legal? would a flight to innsbruck be legal.

I am struggling to find much written about it with clear details... Other than EASA mountain rating... but no definition of what an EASA mountain is?!?!
