THE_COYOTE Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 When you talk to your employer ACTUAL mountain time is what is meant. However the government as usual is trying to fit a square peg in a round hole and wants the strict definition of mountain time as described earlier in this thread. Before you fly fires you want real mountain experience, otherwise you are in for a scary and possibly deadly experience! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avbug Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Colorado isn't exactly combat, no matter what kind of maneuvering you were doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was "Combat Maneuvering" training in Colorado. Train how you fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBuzzkill Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 (edited) I'll bite. The series of maneuvers we performed with a DA of over 13,000 feet above the mountains in Colorado opened my eyes to the performance limitations of a helicopter at high altitudes and showed me that power is not the only restriction up there.
