Flight Training and Mountain Flying Agreement and Liability Waiver
Mountain Flying Aviation, LTD
Jer/ Eberhard, CFII, FAA Aviation Safety Counselor, FAASTeam representative.

CFI Rate: flight and ground instruction: $100/contact hour, 10hr prepay discount.
  Flight training full days: 10% discount with 3 or more consecutive days.  Pilot(s)
  in training will purchase all meals out, cover all expenses while flying and enroute
  including motel/transportation if "Remain Over Night" (RON), and weather/equipment recovery
  costs. Colorado Pilots Association ground school class discount.

PIC: The pilot in training is Pilot In Command (PIC) of all flights
  and continuations thereof, where FAA capable.  Jer/ is not PIC during those times flying
  and is there only to recommend mountain and flying techniques, not critique or improve your
  other flying skills or practices.  I do insist on safety and the FERVENT use of written
  checklists in all flight regimes.

Mountain Flying:  study material is a custom version of:
  * Mountain Flying, by Sparky Imeson, get revision 2 locally, ~$35.
  * Other handouts and web material.  Colorado Pilot's Assn Ground School.

  Flights may include landings and takeoffs at many high mountain airports, including
  Aspen ASE, Glenwood Springs GWS, Leadville LXV and Telluride TEX.  Choose your routes and
  your days of training.  Routes include: "north, middle, south, west, dirt, front range".
  We'll add other airports and routes per your needs, requests, equipment and capabilities.

  You will need to "home-study" written materials and ask questions about the things that need
  further clarification or more information.  I may assign some tasks for you to practice
  at your local airport, in your airplane, before you come to Colorado.  When you get here,
  the days are spent flying in the mountains, approximately 8-10 contact hours/day.

  A C-182, C172XP(180hp), Cherokee 180 is really the minimum aircraft for mountain work.
  That said, I have flown all over the Colorado Rockys in my Cessna-140: 1) alone, 2) with
  half tanks, 3) I am a glider pilot, so I know lift, sink, rotor and wave, 4) I chose my
  day for excellent weather/wind.  Lacking any of those, a C-172 or Cherokee-140 or less
  "may not be enough airplane", for the full training experience and may limit our choice
  of useful load, routes, airports, or even entering the mountains.

We are very concerned with winds and high density altitude, because that is what determines
safety, sufficient runway length, and how to fly the terrain.
For instance, please now commit to memory (mountains or plains):
  For takeoff, the pilot's "75/50 rule" is: "If you have not achieved 75% of your takeoff
  speed by 50% of the runway, you do not have enough runway to takeoff: shut it down NOW,
  because you DO have sufficient runway to stop"!

WAIVER AND RELEASE FROM LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND COSTS:

  I understand that flying is extremely dangerous and may result in death or serious injury. I
  VOLUNTARILY ASSUME all risks, known and unknown, to objects, persons, injuries, personal or
  financial or of wrongful death, however caused.  I HEREBY RELEASE, AGREE TO HOLD HARMLESS
  AND INDEMNIFY Mr. Eberhard and Mountain Flying Aviation, LTD from any and all risks and
  liability in connection with our time and training together.

All above articles agreed upon before flight by:
