Cirrus Training Programs

AirQuest Aviation is authorized to give both initial and recurrent training in SR20 and SR22 aircraft. This program meets the FAA Industry Training Standards (FITS) for Technically Advanced Aircraft (TAA). It is one of the few in the country that is fully sanctioned, supervised and approved by the Cirrus Design Corporation

Cirrus Transition Training

The Cirrus Transition Training course is designed to acclimate pilots to the technologically advanced environment of the Cirrus SR20 and SR22 aircraft and its cockpit. A combination of ground and flight lessons, the training provides a complete introduction to both the Cirrus aircraft, and the advanced avionics it offers. The training will utilize realistic scenario based training including system failures and en-route aeronautical decision making.

The completion certificate, issued upon completion of the training, meets the training requirement for most insurance companies that provide coverage for Cirrus aircraft. You may want to contact your insurance company for more information regarding the experience and training requirements for your insurance carrier.

Recurrent Training

As a supplement to the training provided in the Transition Course, the Cirrus Recurrent Training utilizes realistic scenario based training to challenge Cirrus SR20 and SR22 pilots and help them maintain their proficiency. The training should allow each pilot to better understand the capabilities, limitations and systems of their aircraft. The experience gained should better prepare a pilot for various system failures and emergency situations.

Acceptance Service

For Cirrus SR20 and SR22 customers who elect not to travel to the factory or another destination to accept their airplane in person, AirQuest Aviation offers an Acceptance Service. An AirQuest Aviation Cirrus instructor will sign the appropriate paperwork and conduct the aircraft inspection on your behalf and deliver your aircraft to you.

An experienced cirrus flight instructor may more easily identify aircraft discrepancies that may otherwise be overlooked initially.

Accompany Service

To help familiarize you with your new purchase and provide an increased level of comfort with your aircraft during the trip home, AirQuest Aviation offers an Accompany Service. As part of this service a Flight Instructor will travel with the you to your home airport.

In addition to the increased feeling of security, the Accompany Service can be combined with our training programs to jump start your progress toward certification that may be required by your insurance company.
