Flight Training & Mountain Flying Agreement
Mountain Flying Aviation, LTD
Jer/ Eberhard, CFII, FAA Aviation Safety Counselor

CFI Rate:  flight&ground instruction:  $75/contact hour, 10hr prepay discount.
  Flight training full days:  10% discount with 3 or more consecutive days.
  Pilot(s) in training will purchase all meals out, cover all expenses
  while flying and enroute including motel/transportation if "Remain
  Over Night" (RON), and weather/equipment recovery costs.

PIC:  The pilot in training is Pilot In Command (PIC) of all flights
  and continuations thereof, where FAA capable.  Jer/ is not PIC during those
  times flying and is there only to recommend mountain and flying techniques,
  not critique or improve your other flying skills or practices.  Still, I do
  insist on the FERVENT use of written checklists in all flight regimes.

Mountain Flying:  study material is a custom version of:
  * Mountain Flying, by Sparky Imeson, get revision 2 locally, ~$35.
  * Colorado Pilot's Association - Mountain Flying Course and Curriculum,
    the CPA book of information and printed slides, $50 Post Paid from me.

  Flights may include landings and takeoffs at many high mountain airports,
  including Aspen ASE, Glenwood Springs GWS, Leadville LXV and Telluride
  TEX.  Choose your routes and your days of training.  Routes include:
  "north, middle, south, west, dirt, front range".  We'll add other airports
  per your needs, requests, equipment and capabilities.

  You will need to "home-study" written materials and ask questions about
  the things that need further clarification or more information.  I may
  assign some tasks for you to practice at your local airport, in your
  airplane, before you come to Colorado.  When you get here, the days are
  spent flying in the mountains, approximately 8-10 contact hours/day.

  A C-182 or C172SP(180hp) is really the minimum aircraft for mountain work.
  That said, I have flown all over the Colorado Rockys in a C-150:  1) alone,
  2) with half tanks, 3) I am a glider pilot, so I know lift, sink, rotor and
  wave.  4) I chose my day for excellent weather/wind.  Lacking any of those,
  a C-150, C-172 or Cherokee-180 is "not enough airplane", and may limit our
  choice of routes, airports, or even entering the mountains.

We are very concerned with winds and high density altitude, because that is
what determines sufficient runways, and how to fly the terrain.
For instance, please now commit to memory (mountains or plains):
  For takeoff, the pilot's "75/50 rule" is:
  "If you have not achieved 75% of your takeoff speed by 50% of the runway,
  you do not have enough runway to takeoff... shut it down NOW, because you
  DO have sufficient runway to stop"!

Now consider the pucker factor at Glenwood Springs, at 5916 MSL, with a
single runway 3,300 feet long on an 86 F degree day with no wind.  This, if
nothing else, will convince you why we recommend flying in the mountains at
10% below max gross weight!  We train for safety, proficency and knowledge!
