High Altitude - High-Density Altitude - Mountain Training

Mountain flying can be very dangerous if done improperly. Vertical Limit Aviation teaches techniques to minimize risk when flying in mountain conditions. Both High Altitude and Mountainous flight training are logged in your pilot logbook as such.

This approach to training that Vertical limit Aviation’s instructors have developed allows our student pilots to gain virtual and practical certification and experience that cannot be duplicated in lower altitude and/or lower air density Flight Schools.

For those Pilots who fly in a High Altitude and High-Density environments quickly realize how invaluable this training and experience can be.

Mountainous Terrain piloting skills are in high demand. Often, access to these terrains is very slow from the ground, and in fact may not even be accessible from the ground at all. When accessibility is there, reaching these generally remote terrains are fraught with dangerous and difficult conditions that can put lives at risk.

For these reasons, many industries and government entities are frequently turning to private helicopter services to fulfill transportation, search and rescue, community policing, and surveying in these difficult regions.

Specialized operating environments such as this require special skills! Vertical Limit is proud to offer training in the special techniques and methods for flying in the mountains as part of its commercial training and advanced training for commercial pilots.

High Altitude and mountain flying are very important for students planning for future careers flying helicopters in high-density altitude conditions. However, High Altitude and mountain flying is also a beneficial program for any helicopter pilot since the training helps to development judgment, planning, and decision-making skills.

Furthermore, the subtle flying skills needed to operate close to the operating limitations of the aircraft’s performance can be just as useful when flying at lower altitudes with high loads on a hot day. The training received during this
