| MOUNTAIN AND ADVANCED FLIGHT TRAINING |

At Coast Mountain Helicopters we aspire to expose all of our ab-initio students to some advanced flying techniques including mountain flying and slinging techniques. Although there is no minimum number of hours to be flown in the process of reaching a specific standard of competency, the BC Government Forest Service requires a minimum of 20 hours initial flight training. |
