Mountain Flying

Flying in the Colorado Rockies is a great experience.  It is one of the most beautiful places in the world, but if approached carelessly, it can also be deadly!  Our mountain training program is usually accomplished in two sessions:

  • A 1-hour ground training session and short local flight, working on aircraft performance that is helpful in the mountains.

  • A 1-day flight consisting of ~5 hours flying and several touch-downs at numerous mountain airports such as Aspen, Telluride, Durango, Eagle, Glenwood Springs and many more.

Of course, safety is always primary when flying in the mountains, but you will find a little extra knowledge and a lot of common sense goes a long way to making mountain flying a safe adventure.
