Aircraft
In keeping with our commitment to provide modern, well-maintained aircraft for rental and instruction, Colorado Flight Center operates a fleet of five Cessna single-engine aircraft. We have three Skyhawks (172s) for primary and instrument training, a Cutlass (172RG) for complex training, and one high-performance aircraft, a Skylane (182T), for advanced training and rental. All aircraft are equipped with panel-mounted IFR GPS receivers and most are equipped with autopilots. All of our airplanes are available for short- and long-term rental. All aircraft rental terms and provisions are specified in our Operations Manual.
We also utilize a 1997 Piper Seneca V for twin engine training and cross country rentals. This aircraft is well-equipped for a multitude of flight applications. The avionics package includes the Bendix/King Digital Silver Crown Package with a Garmin GNS 530W GPS receiver and Bendix RVR-2000 VP Color Radar. We have also recently installed a Garmin GMX 200 for display of terrain, radar, traffic, and XM weather data. Certified for flight in to known-icing conditions, this is the only twin-engine aircraft available to the public for rental and instruction in Western Colorado. Have you been wanting to upgrade to a twin? Now is the time! Give us a call to check out in this airplane! See details on our multi-engine add-on package.
For instrument training, we use an Elite Systems PI-135 aircraft training device (a PC-based flight simulator) for quick and inexpensive ($35/hr) primary or recurrent instrument training. We have been authorized by the FAA to use this simulator for training and logging of simulated instrument time and approaches for instrument currency and for a portion of the time required for a private pilot certificate and for an instrument rating.
