Before You Visit

  • Upon enrollment, each student will be given a Flight Schedule Pro (FSP) account. If you haven't received a link, haven't added our school via access code (113177), or are experiencing any login issues, please reach out to us, and we'll resend the activation instructions.

    Once logged in, you will be able to view your flight schedule. If your flights are not yet visible, please allow up to two weeks for them to appear in your account.

    Additionally, FSP provides access to your billing information, enabling you to track any charges incurred throughout the week. Our office manager will process the balance on your account automatically every Monday or Tuesday.

    • Certified Flight Instructor Certificate

    • FII Written

    • If coming from out of town, arrive a few days prior to adjust to our altitude

    • Pack for all types of weather. Weather conditions can change rapidly.

  • Check Ride Availability Update

    We understand that the demand for Designated Pilot Examiners (DPEs) is high, and while we are committed to providing enough check rides for our students, we cannot guarantee availability.

    What You Can Do:

    To improve your chances of securing a check ride, we recommend utilizing the FAA DPE Search tool to find local examiners. Reach out to them directly to inquire about scheduling a check ride for the month of your visit.

    When using the FAA DPE Search Tool select ‘DPE’ - ‘location search’ - “Colorado’ - ‘DPE-FIEI-ASEL

    Our Efforts:

    We will continue to keep all students informed about available check rides and will actively search for opportunities on your behalf. Fortunately, we have a strong track record of securing check rides within a month for our students.

    Priority Considerations:

    Check ride priority will be given based on the following factors:

    1. Students who are fully prepared.

    2. Students who signed up earliest.

    3. Students traveling from out of town.

    We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to accommodate all students.
