Colorado Skymaster LLC

Colorado Skymaster, LLC is a general aviation services company in Centennial, Colorado. The company offers pilot evaluation, pilot mentoring and flight instruction. Its base is the Colorado Air and Spaceport (KCFO), which the site says is seven miles from Denver International Airport.

The company was formed in the last century to serve the general aviation community. The site says its team is a loose group of active and retired military, airline and general aviation pilots. All of the instructors are certificated flight instructors. The team works with newer pilots who are building skills and with experienced pilots who need refresher training.

The company does not run a rental fleet, so it is not a traditional flight school. It has close ties with a flying school on the same field. That school rents CE-172 and CE-182 aircraft and a turbo Seminole PA-44T. Pilots can also train in their own airplane. The site lists pilot evaluation, pilot mentoring and help with insurance company requirements as services. Pilots who need specialized training are asked to send a request with their contact details.

The chief pilot and founder, Drew Chitiea, started his aviation career in 1983. He holds an ATP rating and all fixed wing ground and flight instructor ratings. The site says he is an FAA Gold Seal Instructor and a FAASTeam member. He has been a Master CFI for over 20 years. He is an FAA Designated Pilot Examiner based at the Denver FSDO, and he is a check airman for Petersen AFB and the USAF Academy.

The site says the base has more than 300 days a year of contact flying under visual flight rules. Hotels, shopping and night life are a short drive away. Rental cars are available at the airfield. Ski resorts are a few hours' drive away.

Pilots can reach the company by phone at 303-638-7181 or through the contact form on the website. The office address is 8116 South Albion Street, Centennial, Colorado 80122.
