Recently I've been receiving a good deal of e-mail inquiring about the status of scheduling and prices for mountain flying courses for this summer. Here are the specifics... Normally I operate these classes from Eagle Colorado, however I'm in Albuquerque, NM for the summer working for Eclipse Aviation. As a result, all mountain flying courses for this summer will depart from and return to Albuquerque Double Eagle Airport (KAEG) with a planned overnight in Colorado (probably Grand Junction). The course changes slightly with each student. I customize it for the equipment a student is flying, as well as the students specific goals and experience. The Albuquerque scenario changes the course slightly. Normally we would fly from Eagle and return to Eagle each day. The way I have been operating the course recently is to leave Albuquerque Saturday AM from AEG (double eagle airport) and return to AEG Sunday afternoon. As we fly north from Albuquerque, Taos and Angle Fire provide excellent mountain experience at hot temps and high density altitude. Then we fly a route that takes you through a variety of Colorado's mountain airports including Aspen, Steamboat, Eagle, Salida. We overnight in Grand Junction, the next day we progressively work our way back to Albuquerque via Leadville, Telluride, Durango. If you would like to setup a mountain flying course, we can make the appointment for almost any weekend, and I may be able to accomodate other days depending upon what your schedule requires. If you're using your own airplane, then the course is $495 for 16-20 hours of instruction (2 full days). The $495 covers the instructor expenses for the overnight. If you have questions or want to get on the schedule for a mountain flying course this summer please call or e-mail me. Blue Skies... Loren French 505-301-7837 |
