The one day course includes approximately 3 hours of flight and 2 hours of ground training. Come and visit Colorado and fly into some of the most majestic mountain areas, you’ll visit four of the most diverse mountain airports that Colorado has to offer in this condensed one day course.

Ground Training: Our Mountain Flying Course consists of 2 hours of ground training where you will learn the basics of how to fly in the mountainous terrain. You will learn the fundamentals of performance considerations, mountain weather, navigation, strategies for terrain flying, and perspectives to help you develop a good Go-No-Go Judgment. We’ll also cover aspects of mountain flight planning and instrument considerations for mountain flying.

Flight Training: Each student will then fly a route starting from Eagle flying Tennessee Pass to Leadville, the highest airport in North America, then crossing Hagarman Pass to Aspen, and finally Glenwood Springs before returning to Eagle over Cottonwood Pass. This route crosses the Collegiate mountain range, some of the highest in Colorado between Leadville and Aspen.

** Weather may result in training spread over multiple days, in the event of excess ground or flight training beyond the program amounts the flights will be billed at standard rates.

The two day course includes two days of instruction, approximately 6.5 hours of flight and 3 hours of ground training. Come and visit Colorado and fly into some of the most majestic mountain areas.

Ground Training: Our Mountain Flying Course consists of 3 hours of ground training spread over two days where you will learn the basics of how to fly in the mountainous terrain. You will learn the fundamentals of performance considerations, mountain weather, navigation, strategies for terrain flying, and perspectives to help you develop a good Go-No-Go Judgment. We’ll also cover aspects of mountain flight planning and instrument considerations for mountain flying.

Flight Training: Each student will then fly two separate routes, one route on each day. The first day, we’ll depart Eagle, fly to Steamboat Springs, then to Meeker, Glenwood Springs (depending upon aircraft landing capabilities), and finally Aspen before returning to Eagle. The second day, we will depart Eagle, fly to Leadville, the highest airport in North America, then to Gunnison, North Fork Valley before returning to Eagle. There will also be an option for visiting Telluride along this route.
