I plan to fly into Denver this weekend and this will be my first time flying in the rockies. I understand the basics of the rotors that develop when the wind crosses the ridges at 90* and I understand the basics of flying over mountains (have crossed the Appalachians several times). However, to land in Denver I need to descend through the rotor zone.
I frankly don't know who to ask for guidance on dealing with this and was hoping that some Denver area folks can help me with some general guidelines. I am going into AHA and will go IFR. I was hoping that ATC would provide some guidance or Pireps but not sure.
I would appreciate any guidance or suggestions from local pilots.
Thanks,
Larry
