omg! You’re not seriously considering flying in the Utah backcountry in July, are you??!? Prepare for 100+ degree temps, no shade, hideously high density altitudes, flash floods & very squirrelly winds in the canyons.
We pilots that live in Utah fly to Idaho in July, where it’s hot, but not hell.
Wait until late September or October to fly the Utah backcountry, when the weather is usually perfect and less conducive to overheating the plane and pilot.
windy
Re: heat thru the skylight. For the last couple years I've been using the foil bubble stuff to block out my skylight on the RANS S-7S. Yes, I lost a bit of overhead viz, but I don't care as it really cools things down, especially when parked. Plus, when I am forced to fly under virga, I don't have to look up at the bottom of it, I hate that.
I hear Nova Scotia is nice that time of year.Guess I just need to go somewhere! Annual over and time to go.
Foil bubble stuff?
