I am passionate about instructing and love showing people the world of Cirrus aircraft and to fly them safely and proficiently - ready to take their friends and family on a lifetime of adventures."
Cirrus Transition Courses
A Cirrus transition course is a training program designed for pilots who wish to fly Cirrus aircraft. Each course focuses on providing hands-on instruction and experience on the use of the features and systems in Cirrus aircraft, with the goal of helping pilots make a smooth transition from traditional avionics to the more sophisticated technology found in these aircraft. The course covers topics such as navigation, communications, and flight management systems, as well as emergency procedures and other operational considerations specific to Cirrus aircraft. Each make and model of Cirrus has a specific course that needs to be completed. After your first Cirrus Transition Course it is easy to add additional make and models through differences courses.
