Training
Whether you're looking to hone your short-field and soft-field landing skills, master flying in mountainous terrain, or simply experience the thrill of off-the-grid aviation, our backcountry flights deliver adventure at every turn. Each flight is led by seasoned instructors with real-world bush flying experience, ensuring you learn essential techniques like terrain navigation, energy management, and off-airport decision making.
For those seeking an even deeper connection with the backcountry lifestyle, camping is available for overnight stays at select remote airstrips. Imagine landing beside a secluded river or forest clearing, setting up camp, and spending the evening under the stars with your aircraft just steps away. It’s more than training—it’s an immersive aviation experience.
Come fly with us and unlock the freedom, beauty, and challenge of true backcountry flying. Build skills, make memories, and explore the untamed Northwest from the pilot’s seat.
