Thanks for your interest in Rocky Mountain Rotorcraft (RMR) flight training. RMR runs a small flight school based just north of Denver, Colorado at Erie Airport (KEIK). We fly the turbocharged Enstrom 280FX, Schweizer 300c, and the turbine powered Enstrom 480B. A majority of our training is off-airport, mountain-based flying surrounded by the highest peaks in the lower 48. In addition to our location north of Denver and a 10-minute flight from the Rockies, we also operate a mountain campus near Telluride, in South West Colorado.
We offer flight training from the initial private though certified flight instructor (CFI) and all ratings in between. We also provide mountain specific courses for pilots with previous flight experience and Enstrom only courses for pilots interested in these wonderful helicopters. In addition we are partnered with a fixed wing flight school at our Erie location making it very convenient for pilots looking to obtain multiple ratings or use an airplane to build hours.
Erie Tri-County Municipal Airport is a sleepy, uncontrolled airfield that provides an excellent home base with uncrowded skies while being minutes from class Bravo and Delta airspace of Denver International Airport and Rocky Mountain Metro. We don't have a tower telling us where and how to fly but have excellent opportunities to practice radio skills and flight procedures at these nearby airports. Our mountain campus near Telluride offers high altitude flying between 8,000 and 12,500 MSL on private land that covers over 10,000 acres of spectacular alpine terrain.
We look for the right fit between your goals as a pilot and our flight training programs. If we believe your requirements will be better served at a different school, we'll certainly tell you this. We are not a pilot factory and take a limited number of students each year to ensure the best possible training environment, which means access to helicopters, flexibility in scheduling, and a truly customized program based on your goals.
Our chief pilot, Jack Ferguson, is a certified Enstrom pilot for the Airsure Enstrom insurance program. Please contact us anytime to discuss your requirements, our rates, and availability as we take a limited number of students each year.
