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.

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.
As a society, humans have always found new and exciting ways to get themselves killed. While we could easily spend our days relaxing around the house and reading articles on our favorite movie news websites, specific individuals feel that they need to put themselves in harm's way to feel truly alive. These brave activities range from bungee jumping, skydiving, extreme sports, and mountain climbing.From the very first time a person laid their eyes on a rocky surface that stretches into the heavens and said 'I can climb that', mountain climbing has become a hobby. Whether it is scaling a harsh surface on a craggy cliff side or trekking a mountain covered in snow, humans have done it, and some have even survived. Of course, the movie industry had to get in on the adventurous ordeal, and plenty of fictional films and documentaries about the deadly pastime have been created. The end result is some of the best thriller movies of all time, with some fictional, and some not.
With humans still just as obsessed with finding new ways to risk their lives in the name of extreme sports, there is no shortage of quality mountain climbing movies and documentaries. Even celebrities are getting in on the craze with Jason Mamoa hosting the reality show The Climb, which recently wrapped up its search for the world's best amateur climber.
When best friends Kelly and Sophie decide to go rock climbing, their adventure holiday is interrupted by the arrival of four strange men. After the newcomers murder Sophie, and Kelly captures it on camera, the killers pursue her up the cliff, resulting in Kelly being forced to climb for her life as the killers try to silence her.
While the plot is nothing new for the thriller genre, The Ledge manages to feel unique by adding the extra tension of the climbing aspect. It calls to mind single-location thrillers like Phone Booth and Buried as both the threat of Kelly's pursuers and the harsh surface of the earth below beckon to end her life.Watch on Hulu
Someone once had the genius thought "what if Wrong Turn was a movie about mountain climbers?" and thus High Lane was born. When a group of youths decides to spice up their vacation by scaling a mountain trail, they soon find themselves hunted by a psychopath who calls the area home.
Hailing from France, High Lane avoids the extreme violence common in the New French Extremity Movement to instead resemble an old-school slasher movie. Along with Wrong Turn, it calls to mind The Hills Have Eyes as the teens are each picked off one by one in their unfamiliar and unforgiving environment, where falling off a cliff suddenly does not seem so bad.
