Transition Training
The Cirrus Transition Training courses are designed to familiarize Cirrus owners/pilots to the technologically advanced Cirrus aircraft, its systems and advanced avionics. The training provides a thorough introduction to your appropriate Cirrus aircraft, the Cirrus SR20 or Cirrus SR22, and is a combination of both ground, full motion simulator and flight lessons. The training will combine reality based scenarios including system failures and navigational decision-making skills.
Upon successful completion of the transition training course curriculum, including all flight maneuvers and tasks contained within the appropriate FAA Practical Test Standards, a transition training certificate of completion will be issued which meets the requirements for most insurance companies. To ensure compliance with your insurance company's training requirements, you may wish to contact your insurance carrier for more information.
The Cirrus Transition Training Course is developed in conjunction with the FAA sponsored FITS program. The course is comprised of 7 lessons and an optional flight review and/or instrument proficiency check lesson after the transition training has been completed. NOTE: In order to rent Cirrus aircraft there is a 10 hour minimum training time (simulator & aircraft). For initial training (in your aircraft) there is no minimum training time other than your individual training requirements; however, all seven lessons must be satisfactorily completed prior to receiving a transition training certificate of completion.
The amount of time required for course completion is dependent up on several factors:
1. Experience level of the pilot (total time plus high performance time)
2. Garmin GNS-430 Experience
3. PFD/MFD Experience
4. Pilot Preparation Prior to Training

Lesson 1:
As the course overview, this lesson outlines the training curriculum and itemizes the training into a lesson plan syllabus. During this lesson the operator must either correctly answer 70% of the training guide questions or complete a written quiz covering materials from the POH achieving at least a 70% score. If the operator has satisfactorily completed the training guide or quiz they may continue with the flight training.
Lesson 2:
This lesson serves as an introduction to your Cirrus aircraft covering normal operating procedures, introduction to avionics, steep turns and stalls.
Lesson 3:
Operator will be asked to identify and correct systems and system malfunctions in a scenario based format. These scenarios will be based on the certificate and ratings held by the pilot.
Lesson 4:
Operator will review items learned on lesson 2 and develop increased proficiency in airport operations. Takeoff, landing, go around and stabilized approach procedures will be the major emphasis.
Lesson 5:
Pilot will be introduced to abnormal and emergency procedures in flight. The pilot will also demonstrate automation competency in a Cirrus aircraft while conducting a cross country scenario. Avionics interface autopilot operation and Garmin GNS-430 will be the major emphasis.
Lesson 6:
Pilot will review abnormal and emergency procedures and demonstrate an increased proficiency in conducting a cross country based scenario.
Lesson 7:
This lesson is the final evaluation flight that will take into account previously learned material and will be conducted on a planned cross country scenario.
