IFR Vertical Flight Training Environment
|
 |
| Class B Airspace Training Environment (Click the image for an enlarged version.) |
|
|
Learning IFR Flying in Denver’s Class B Airspace will provide the student with valuable experience as a professional helicopter pilot in various markets such as emergency medical transport, fire fighting, search and rescue, off-shore oil rig transport, air taxi, charter operations and air patrol law enforcement.
|
Even if the student is only interested in a Private Instrument Rating the experienced gained in Class B Airspace will sharpen their radio skills and heighten their situation awareness should they ever require flight through IMC or Special VFR conditions in large metropolitan areas or over featureless terrain.
|
The student will start off learning Vertical IFR flying in Class E airspace (e.g., Erie, Longmont and Loveland - Ft. Collins Airports) while mastering basic IFR skills.
|
The student will transition to Class D airspace (e.g., Rocky Mountain, Front Range and Centennial Airports) during the Stage II phase of Vertical IFR flight training.
|
Finally we will incorporate Class B (e.g., Denver International Airport) into the final phase of Vertical IFR flight training when the student is preparing for their final FAA check ride.
