Vertical Limit, LLC is locally owned and operated in Albuquerque, NM. Our specialty is to train skilled and knowledgeable pilots in High density altitude conditions using Robinson R-44 and R-22 helicopters. We train pilots to acquire specialized skill sets in conditions that other flight schools do not have access to such as mountainous flying, high density altitude flying, high winds and much more. Our personalized approach provides the attention deserved by each student. Training in Albuquerque, NM provides an advantage over other helicopter schools and gives students an edge in this competitive market.
The United States military believes that the New Mexico environment and flying conditions provide an excellent training model for their military aircraft and pilots to train in. While other military facilities may provide higher altitudes, Albuquerque offers pilots a higher density altitude which makes learning the helicopter limitations essential. When the density altitude increases, the air is thinner, and molecules spread out which all equate to tougher flying conditions and a well rounded pilot. We provide a safe and dynamic training environment which is very unique compared to other flight schools.
Our instructors have developed a path to teach you to fly at the Helicopter limits; high altitude, high temperatures, high winds, and high density altitude. When you have experienced flying in these conditions you have a varying degree and higher skill level then your counterparts. Vertical Limit molds our students into proficient and competent pilots and prepares you to succeed in the aviation industry. Come take a discovery flight and see why Vertical Limit Aviation is the premier flight school in the United States. Whether it\u2019s for pleasure or for career, we offer everything you need to stop dreaming and start flying.

The Cinema EOS C500 4K Digital Cinema Camera capitalizes on the groundbreaking ergonomic design of the EOS C300 camera, and offers a Super 35mm, 8.85-megapixel CMOS image sensor, DIGIC DV III Image Processor and an expansive range of recording and output options specifically for 4K and 2K image acquisition. Addressing the discrete needs of cinema and TV, the EOS C500 offers two forms of 4K origination - productions can dynamically select DCI (SMPTE 2048-1:2011 standard) or the alternative television-centric Quad-HD (SMPTE 2036-1:2009 and ITU-R BT.1769 standards) source image formats.
The Canon EOS C500 integrates with time-tested feature film production workflows. As 4K RAW data is being recorded externally, you can record proxy files at 50 Mb/s to the camera's internal CF card so rough-cut or dailies editing can begin immediately after a scene is complete. For the widest latitude for color correction in post-production, the camera offers Canon's Log gamma mode, which results in excellent tonal reproduction in the highlight and lowlight regions of an image, and a greatly expanded dynamic range.
With the 6K RED DRAGON sensor, you can capture over 9x more pixels than HD. Unrivaled detail and impressive native exposure eclipse 35mm film in both latitude and image density. Industry leading specs distinguish the EPIC DRAGON as a model for image innovation, helming the evolution of digital cinema technology.
With a focal length range of 30-300mm, the 10x cinema zoom lens is designed to cover the longer end of the focal lengths typically required by cinematic productions, and its maximum telephoto length of 300mm puts it among the best in its class. (The other zoom lens in the line, the CN-E 14.5-60mm T2.6 L S, covers the wider end.) Maximum aperture is a relatively fast T2.95 throughout much of its range, and the 11-blade iris enables a smooth bokeh for out-of-focus areas of the frame.
Vertical Limit (バーティカルリミット) is one of the most iconic obstacles in the post-Monster9 era of SASUKE. Together with Cliffhanger, they are a feared duo in Third Stage, with one of these two obstacles being responsible for over half of Third Stage's failures since its introduction in SASUKE 28.
In essence, competitors must traverse across a series of flat wall(s) with a 1 cm (0.39 in) ledge embedded on the bottom of the wall(s), which is much smaller than Cliffhanger ledge's width. Competitors must cross the wall using the pinch grip or using only their fingertips. It has had four different versions.
The two resting bars at the end of the obstacle would vary in height in its appearances. When it was first attempted in SASUKE 29, the first bar was at an equal height to the third ledge while the second bar would be much lower than the first bar. Morimoto Yūsuke, who the only competitor to attempt the obstacle at the time, swinged to the second bar using the first bar as a support at the end.
In SASUKE 30, the second bar was raised at a height almost equal with the third, meaning that once competitors reached the end of the third ledge, they must hoist themselves using their legs over the resting bars.
It was not deadly as it looked at first, with only one competitor (Kishimoto Shinya in SASUKE 30) failing it out of four attempts. Probably due to this, it was modified into Vertical Limit Kai in SASUKE 31.
The second version of Vertical Limit is Vertical Limit Kai (バーティカルリミット改), literally Altered Vertical Limit. The wall was now split into two sections, the second of which was placed 30 centimeters (0.98 ft) forward to make the transition more difficult.
This transition proved to be a tough addition, as both Morimoto Yūsuke and Kanno Hitoshi, the only two competitors to attempt this version, struggled at this point. Kanno gassed out and failed to clear it, while Morimoto was able to clear it and the third stage as a whole.
Due to Morimoto Yūsuke's Kanzenseiha in that tournament, the difficulty of the entire stage was increased. The third version of Vertical Limit, with the name unchanged, was introduced in SASUKE 32. There were three small walls with ledges that faced the opposite direction compared to previous versions. It also originally followed Ultra Crazy Cliffhanger without a break to make the second half of Third Stage more difficult.
The distance between the first to second section was 30 cm horizontally, while the distance between the second to third section was 60 cm horizontally. The distance between the third section to the resting bar was 15 cm (6 in) vertically. In addition, the resting bars after the obstacle would be increased to three. The final two bars were much higher than the first, preventing the competitors to use the other resting bars as support to lifting themselves over. These modifications made Vertical Limit one of the many obstacles in SASUKE's history to be modified in three consecutive tournaments.
