If you are unable to attend either of these ground school sessions, I am available one-on-one, on your schedule, at your convenience. Please contact me as per the .signature below. Jer/ Eberhard --------------------------------------------------------------------- The dates have been set for the mountain flying ground school (flying days after): COLORADO PILOTS ASSOCIATION / COLORADO AIR SAFETY FOUNDATION MOUNTAIN FLYING - HIGH ELEVATION AIRPORT OPERATIONS GROUND SCHOOLS - 2004 Saturday, June 19 or August 21, 2004: Centennial Airport, Tower Boardroom SPONSORED BY THE COLORADO AIR SAFETY FOUNDATION: The Colorado Air Safety Foundation is a non-profit corporation organized and operated exclusively for the purpose of promoting and furthering education and public safety in the aviation industry. In Colorado, accident statistics show that pilots without the skills needed for safe flight over mountainous terrain often get themselves in situations which are beyond their capability to handle. The mountain flying course is a program developed to improve that capability. THE COURSE: The ground school course was originally developed by the Colorado Pilots Association in 1986. It is presented in Colorado at least twice each year and occasionally at out-of-state locations. It is taught by Colorado pilots who live and fly the mountains in business and recreational flying. Through the years it has evolved into one of the premier safety training courses of its kind. The course takes the student on a simulated flight over several mountain passes and into a number of high elevation mountain airports. Instructors take time to discuss factors affecting the safety of flight at each step on the route and make extensive use of aerial photography and a technical workbook to illustrate information needed for a safe flight. The workbook is part of the course materials provided under the registration fee for the course. GROUND SCHOOL CONTENT: The ground school covers the basics necessary for flight in mountainous areas, including: * Mountain weather phenomena * Flight planning for mountain flying * Density altitude * High altitude performance * Off-airport landings * Mountain winds * Mountain airport arrivals * Enroute navigation * Emergency planning * Proper leaning procedures * Mountain airport departures It also prepares a pilot for the optional mountain cross-country training flight in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. OPTIONAL MOUNTAIN CROSS-COUNTRY FLIGHT: The optional cross-country training flight, though not part of this ground school course, is an excellent introduction to flying in the high country. The route takes you over two mountain passes and to several mountain airports (with paved runways), providing reinforcement of what is taught in the ground school. The aircraft used (provided by the student) should have at least 160 hp. The course takes about 3 1/2 to 5 hours to fly, depending on the aircraft. Completion of both the ground school and cross-country training flight will fulfill the requirements of the FAA's "Wings" program. A "Wings" program completion with logbook entry will be accepted by the FAA in lieu of a Biennial Flight Review. Individuals wishing to participate in this portion of the program may choose a qualified mountain flying instructor from the MOUNTAIN FLYING INSTRUCTOR PILOTS list, or contact the program administrator for assistance in selecting an available instructor. ENROLLMENT: Pilots wishing to attend ground school are urged to pre-register by June 18, 2003 for the first class or by August 13, 2003 for the second class.
