Grand Canyon Special Airspace | Flying the Grand Canyon
An online safety program about the Grand Canyon Special Airspace
Here's a neat program about the Grand Canyon Airspace. It's a great 49 slide program greatly detailing all the information about the Grand Canyon Airspace. It explains all the altitudes, the GA corridors, and the FAR 93 requirement to monitor the specific frequencies. It's loaded with lots of pictures, charts, and even some basic video type effects. At the end, it allows you to print a certificate and qualifies as the classroom safety portion of the FAA Wings Program. This would be a really great review for any pilots that ever take trips in that direction.
