Northern Colorado’s most diverse Fleet
Why does having a wide selection of aircraft matter?
Flying different aircraft is essential for helping pilots distinguish between their own performance and the performance of the aircraft. It allows pilots to identify and correct deficiencies in technique that may develop from only flying one type of aircraft. Learning the systems and handling characteristics of a new aircraft enhances your understanding of aviation and often deepens your knowledge of your primary aircraft. Flying multiple types of aircraft builds confidence, versatility, and skill. We aren’t just training pilots to fly one aircraft; we’re preparing pilots to excel in any environment, regardless of the aircraft they fly.
