Tiger Mountain

Visiting Pilot Info

Welcome to Tiger Mountain. Before flying here we ask that you become a member of the club and read the site guide. Then we recommend joining the telegram channel to coordinate with locals for an in person site introduction. On almost any good flying day there will be locals out flying.

Pilot Information

Flight Planning

Check the Military Training Route Schedule for Rampart and Saddle first if you plan to fly these sites. Low flying jet aircraft train in these areas and fly at 8 miles per minute! Eyes and ears open. Don't be a fly on a windshield!

Do Not Land File

The club maintains a list of locations where we have been asked to do our best not to land. You can download that file and add it to your flight computer.

Tree Rescue Contacts

These contacts can be helpful if a person or wing gets stuck in a tree. It can be good to have these numbers in your phone.
