RAVCO’s Mountain\/High Altitude Training and Test Site (M\/HATTS) is the most challenging training course that you’ll ever take. Our training facility in Leadville, Colorado, is located in the middle of the Rocky Mountains and is the highest airport (9,927 ft.) in the continental United States. We start where others leave off.<\/p>\n
Our specialty courses are designed to teach the knowledge and skills you’ll need to perform in some of the most demanding flying conditions you’ll ever encounter. Flying in the mountains is a different experience from flying in any other environment. Reduced engine power, decreased lift, hypoxia, terrain, and treacherous winds and weather are all working against you. Our private Landing Zones range from 6,000 ft. all the way to the top of Mt. Sherman at 14,036 ft., the highest LZ in the lower 48 states. At M\/HATTS you’ll gain the real-world high altitude experience, understanding, and confidence that no other lower elevation course can.<\/p>\n
Flight training is conducted in the MD-530F (MH-6), A-Star 350B3, BO-105, the Bell 206 (OH-58), and the Bell 205A+ (UH-1) helicopters. Other helicopter models, such as the S-70 (UH-60) and the AH-1 Cobra are available on request. Our instructors are all former military instructor pilots with years of international real-world mountain flying experience.<\/p>\n
