Cirrus Aircraft has expanded its flight training curriculum with its new Instrument Rating Programme. Designed by Cirrus instructors for pilots interested in obtaining an Instrument Rating in a Cirrus aircraft, the program combines self-study content with in-person flight training.
“The Cirrus Instrument Rating Programme represents our commitment to safety and growing the Personal Aviation industry,” said Zean Nielsen, Chief Executive Officer of Cirrus.
The programme offers owners a clear training progression to maximise Cirrus aircraft use, enabling them to fly more frequently and in a wider range of weather and terrain, and emphasises safe best practices for pilots operating Cirrus aircraft. The programme includes three segments – flight lessons, knowledge test preparation, and supplemental lessons – all designed to offer the student and instructor maximum flexibility while providing high levels of support along the way.
Students can enrol in the Instrument Rating Program through Cirrus Approach and then will need to locate a nearby Cirrus Training Centre to schedule their in-person flight lessons. The course can be tailored to the student’s experience level, so the total time needed to complete it varies from one to four months.
