Corbin HaneThis course was informative for high-altitude training.
mitchel zimmermanI am a 900 hour pilot that recently got my commercial. This class solve the ground for my High Altitude so I can PIC in PC12. This course was about $70 cheaper than the King air and it served its purpose. I still think they are a little too expensive for what they are.
This course will efficiently and comprehensively prepare you for high altitude operations.
