Flight Instruction
Colorado Backcountry Aviation was born out of the desire to ensure pilots have the training and experience to fly safely and competently both in the mountains and off airport environments. We believe that even the most accomplished pilot can become better and safer by learning how to fly in the everchanging conditions of the Colorado Rockies, or learn to land a Super Cub in the backcountry, or navigate.
