Goals and Values

Enhancing Safety

Utah Back Country Pilots believes that through sharing our knowledge and experience of remote airstrips we can make backcountry flying in Utah safer. Our Airstrip Database is being constructed and refined and we invite members and nonmembers alike to use it as a guideline. Through this network, pilots can help correct inaccuracies and update recent conditions. Please feel free to e-mail or telephone us with any questions or observations.

Preservation of Airstrips

Our other main goal is to advocate for the preservation of these airstrips with Federal and State land managers. We believe pilots are legitimate users of the backcountry just like hikers, horseman, campers, and kayakers.

Preservation of the Environment

UBCP also promotes "leave no trace" camping and "tread lightly" disciplines.
