SIXTH IN A SERIES ON Aviation Safety Discussions
 D. M. Gretzer
 for The Office of Aviation Safety BUSH PILOT SUGGESTIONS

BUSH PILOT SUGGESTIONS
 Jack Peck has been flying and operating airplanes in Alaska since at least as far back as 1886. He is now an operations manager for Alaska Airlines. The following safety suggestions have been made by him, and are backed by the authority of wide experience. "" Bottom Passes
 When flying through mar row pass, fly close to right hand side, so that a 180 degree turn can be made, or other required maneuvering. The left hand will also usually be in the direction of best pilot visibility.
 Crossing Hills
 When crossing a hill or ridge against wind, always cross at an angle of 45 degrees or less, so that if a down-draft is en- countered, it will be simple to drop the nose and turn away from the hill.
 Flying Without Wings
 The majority of private pilots do not seem to realize that the strain imposed on light air plane in turbulent air can be re- duced to large extent by re ducing air speed. Jack Peck adds: II have personal know ledge of this fact, as I lost a pair of wings one time in turbulent air, You can rest assured that 1 always throttle back in rough air"
 Fly or Walk?
 Jack recalls a friend of his who walked fifty miles in forty below weather because of a frozen gas line from one tank. When one tank ran dry, and the other was turned on, nothing happened, hence the hike. Hik- ing is good exercise, but there are times when we would rather
