Mountain Training
LOCATION
The Cline River Heliport (CCR5) is located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, 10 minutes from the Continental Divide giving some of the 
most spectacular views possible any where in the world. This also means that the training is in some of the most rugged and challenging yet satisfying areas only 2 minutes from the first landing. Getting there is accessed through two major international airports, Calgary or Edmonton, Alberta. The three-hour drive from Calgary along the Icefield Parkway is as spectacular as the flight training.
