Unless you have the complete flexibility in your schedule and commercial airline travel (around our unpredictable Winter weather) – we typically do not accept reservations from our out-of-state guests past Thanksgiving.  We don’t want you disappointed by spending your precious training time (and travel costs) sitting in a hotel, and watching it snow !

To prioritize our service to the Kitfox-specific community – we no longer have the availability to offer Tailwheel Endorsements to pilots for other Tailwheel airplane types.  In our experienced opinion, we recommend a Tailwheel Endorsement should be earned in the airplane type one aspires to fly. 

With our focus on “Backcountry Training Tours” – and the mission-specific Backcountry-outfitted flight school Kitfoxes – we no longer offer the high wear & tear of Tailwheel Endorsement training.  In addition, due to the advanced nature of Backcountry training, we request you come for training…already tailwheel endorsed and current in a tailwheel airplane. We will then offer the Kitfox-specific “Type” training, followed immediately by the Backcountry training. 

Multiple day, overnight “Backcountry Training Tours” start again when the snow melts off the airstrips, and the Wilderness Lodges re-open in late May – ONE lodge as early as April.  Please plan ahead as far as possible for availability.  We are often taking bookings up to a year in advance.

We only accept future reservations on our training schedule – upon receipt of our required deposit and signed “Contract for Services.”

In regard to sales Demonstration flights… we can continue to offer those – weather permitting of course, and around our overnight Backcountry Training Tour schedule.  Demonstration flights will typically be scheduled for afternoons / early evenings (after the AM training pilots who already fill the schedule). 

The Kitfox Aircraft factory should be contacted prior, if considering a purchase, to determine production lead times. Factory tour reservations should be scheduled in the AM prior to our afternoon Demonstration ground schooling and flight.  Or watch their tour video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8o-qNp3Mqs8
