Pilots worry that their delicate aircraft will be torn apart by the turbulence associated with mountain flying. Rotor turbulence can be _really_ unnerving. But the main problems in mountain flying are more like CFIT (controlled flight into terrain). You can suddenly find yourself with no room to maneuver, no way to turn around, boxed in between rising terrain, lowering ceiling, and narrowing valley walls! Add in declining fuel reserves, steady teeth-rattling turbulence, and fading daylight, and you have a rough idea of the kind of situation that is going to require your superior piloting skills! This video gives you a good understanding of what to expect, and how to prepare for the challenge.
