Thumbs up High Altitude Flight Schools...
I was browsing old strings, and I thought I'd bring this topic back on top to get some recent feedback...

I don't have any high altitude experience, and I wanted to find out what you folks thought about the benefits of training at a high altitude center. I know that Guidance Helicopters uses R22BII at 5400 MSL, but with the heat in Arizona... the DA must climb much more than that.

Anyway, I'm considering training at a high altitude center for the experience, but I'm not really sure if it is worth it? Denver is around 7000 MSL, so I'm curious how the Enstroms and Schweitzers perform at that altitude. I think the R44 Raven II would do nicely at that altitude, but I'm not so sure about the R22 Beta II. Your thoughts?
