Accelerated Flight Training Adventures - Cross Country Instrument & Private Pilot Flight Training Course
  
- Welcome to Russell Aviation Accelerated Flight Training Adventures. Owner Mickey Russell has long known what most students find out the hard way: traditional flight training is slow, frustrating and unnecessarily redundant. Intensive training is how professional pilots train. The best way to learn is to focus on the process of learning, away from the distractions of day-to-day life. Military, airline, corporate and government flight operations all train on a full-time basis. In fact, the only segment of aviation that doesn't train full time is general aviation. Russell Aviation offers accelerated, turnkey training solutions designed for each student.
- To help pilots train intensively, Russell Aviation has developed several accelerated cross country courses, each of which is an aviation adventure to remember for a lifetime. We teach you how to fly while on a cross country trip around Colorado and the western United States. You will also learn to be creative, flexible, and to solve problems when they happen.
- Russell Aviation provides a more "real world" environment for your flight training. We take our flight training adventures seriously, evaluating airports, flying alternative training routes, and even inspecting hotel rooms, first-hand. We've spent over 6 years researching the most beautiful routes to benefit our students.
- While traveling on our training adventures, we stay at historic lodges and hotels, not your run-of-the-mill tourist motels. Could we stay at less expensive places and provide fewer real-world situations in your training adventure? You bet. But you would miss the cool clear nights of the Rocky Mountains, the inspiring views of Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse Monument, and sampling a hearty buffalo or elk steak in a charming "locals" restaurant. Believe us, these are just a small example of the experiences you'll cherish forever.
Learn from an instructor who's a specialist 
- Several flight schools that offer accelerated training hire instructors with less than 500 hours total time. Most of these low-time instructors are interested only in building time to fly for the airlines, and only a few will become career flight instructors. This has been the accepted practice for many years in aviation. This is starting to change with some of the more experienced instructors becoming specialists in one or more areas of flight training.
All our instructors have at least 2000 hours of flight time. They are not unemployed airline pilots waiting for another airline job. Our instructors are well-qualified, patient and dedicated teachers.
- Russell Aviation instructors consider your safety as their top priority. Imagine the difference in the quality and efficiency of the training you will receive with this kind of top-notch instructor.
- We will train you to be a safer, more competent pilot. We don't guarantee you will pass your check ride. We do guarantee that you will learn more here in a few days and gain more real world cross country experience than you would using your local flight school.
- The teaching philosophy of Russell Aviation is that there is a right way and a wrong way to teach pilots and that safety is always first. We strongly believe that learning to fly can also be an ADVENTURE that is FUN. Basic learning theory supports this position -- positive experiences are remembered and negative experiences are forgotten. If you are having FUN, you will remember what is being taught. Learning to fly with Russell Aviation will be an ADVENTURE you will not forget.
Enjoy your stay in Colorado
When you are not training in Colorado, you can relax along a mountain stream and enjoy the magnificent Rocky Mountains. Go fishing at one of our crystal clear lakes or rivers. Go skiing in Aspen, Breckenridge or Monarch ski areas. Hike the many trails of the Collegiate Peaks. Enjoy mountain biking or kayaking in the best possible environment. These are a few of the activities found by savvy tourists who travel to Colorado every year on vacation.
Other great activities which students may arrange on their own include camping in the San Isabel National Forest, swimming, whitewater rafting or fishing in the legendary Arkansas River. You may also enjoy star gazing in Aspen, Colorado, which has many health clubs featuring spas, weight rooms, and racquetball, as well as live entertainment in its downtown area.
