Idaho Flight School announces ground-breaking Online Backcountry Ground School
Idaho Flight School launches first Mountain Flying Online Ground School for backcountry pilots everywhere.
Excitement surrounds the release of Basic Backcountry Online Ground School, the first online ground school specific to mountain and backcountry flying. This new course offering from a leading provider of mountain flying instruction in the Idaho Backcountry offers a comprehensive study of concepts and practices unique to mountain flying, covering subjects like canyon flying, density altitude, performance calculation and more! Idaho is sometimes called "Southern Alaska" in aviation circles thanks to its diverse network of public-use mountain airports, many far beyond the end of any roads high in the Rocky Mountains. Over 70 mountain airstrips provide access to portions of the high mountains which are at best a laborious trip on mountain roads, or at worst several day's hike, in fantastic wilderness areas throughout the state. Safe access to the mountains requires much of a pilot, and a cornerstone of aviation safety is education such as that offered in the Basic Backcountry Online Ground School. Basic Backcountry Online Ground is a new product utilizing the latest in Internet-based classroom capability, and presents the wide world of mountain flying in a fresh, live seminar feel featuring a high-quality, 6+ hour recording of a real classroom including real, unrehearsed questions from other pilots. Coupled with a multimedia slideshow and varied learning methods to ensure an immersive experience, this course is the first of its kind to be offered online.
