Jer/ Eberhard -----Original Message----- Subject: Mountain and Canyon flying instruction: Colorado, Idaho, Utah! There are a few openings available in the Idaho back country mountain flying courses this summer. If you are interested in the next level of flying, it may be mountain, canyon and back country flying! Please consider attending one of these seminars with back country instruction this summer! If you have heard about the Idaho back country, then you know what I mean. If you haven't, then please consider browsing and putting McCall, Idaho on your summer adventure list! McCall is an excellent place from which to launch into the Idaho back country. There are 50 airstrips in the Frank Church "River of No Return" Wilderness area, and nearby back country. This is the coolest place in the lower 48.. (of course Alaska is better, but it is a long way away. :-) http://www.mountaincanyonflying.com/ I've been, it is GREAT!

August 11, 2007 at Centennial Airport (APA), Denver, Colo. Centennial Airport (APA). 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MOUNTAIN FLYING AVIATION, LTD, FORT COLLINS/GREELEY, COLORADO, USA If you can not make any of the above, or want personalized instruction tailored to your needs, wants, and desires, all is not lost!

Last year we had 3 days of FROST in late June. Of course, this delayed flying out of Sulphur Creek Ranch (where we based) until after 10:30 AM... because it took that long for the sun to shine that deep into the valley. :-) Best regards, Jer/ "Flight instruction and mountain flying are my vocations!" -- Jer/ (Slash) Eberhard, Mountain Flying Aviation, LTD, Ft Collins, CO CELL 970 231-6325 EMAIL jer'at'frii.com http://users.frii.com/jer/ C-206, CFII Airplane&Glider, FAA-DEN Aviation Safety Counselor CAP-CO Mission&Aircraft CheckPilot BM218 HAM N0FZD 247 Young Eagles! |

I took the CAP course 5 years ago (also met you during the ground
school portion, but you might not remember me), and it was one of the highlights of my entire flying career. I am glad to see new additions on canyon flying and Idaho. I now live too far away to come up there, but I would like to encourage anyone else who might be interested that this experience was worth every penny. |

At Johnson creek, I leave my plane parked on the west side of the ruway, so the sun will hit it as soon as it clears the canyon. Frosty mornings are common there even in July and August. Any word on whether or not Sulphur Creek will be open this year? Last year they got new owners closed the strip to fly-in breakfast traffic.

Rumor has it that the new owners are going to open for breakfast. I suspect there will be a lot of info out on the Idaho Aviation Association's (IAA) web site if/when this happens: http://www.FlyIdaho.org (IAA) I am a member of IAA, and I live in Colorado, but enjoy visiting Idaho!

Hey, your flying career is not over! We are doing the CAP mountain flying course again in May in Durango for New Mexico and Colorado. This is CAP training! Write a proposal to your wing commander and bring an airplane and crew! I can give you contact information if you request it. I am glad to see new additions on canyon flying and Idaho. I now live too far away to come up there, but I would like to encourage anyone else who might be interested that this experience was worth every penny. Too far? You are a pilot! I'm sure the issue is not distance, but that old bug-a-boo... $$$ :-( Yet, I have 4 gents coming from Austria to rent our Cessna-182 from Poudre Aviation http://poudreaviation.com in March for 2 weeks of mountain flying. They have to go thru all the TSA hassles and FAA pilot license conversion to do this, but here they come! Seriously, talk up a Colorado or Idaho adventure with your buddys, pack a few airplanes, and I can schedule some instructors for you. Fly the Colorado Rockys... it is FUN!
