A real transition course, when you need one.
If you earned your private, instrument, or commercial with us, you are already current in our airplanes by the time you finish your training. If you trained somewhere else and are joining us as a member, we offer a transition course before you fly our fleet solo. The course is built around the airplane you will be renting and the way you will actually use it.
Most checkouts run five to ten hours total, split between time in the Cirrus-specific simulator and time in the airplane itself. The exact mix depends on your experience and how quickly you settle in. Pilots transitioning from another high-performance single often finish closer to five. Pilots stepping up from a different airframe often spend more time in the sim before they ever start the engine.
