Training programs
From first flight to flight instructor
Every program trains in Cirrus G7+ glass cockpits, backed by a Redbird MCX simulator and in-person ground school at KART.
Cirrus Approach
Learn the Cirrus way, on and off the ramp
Our training is built on Cirrus Approach, Cirrus's own learning system. You study at home on an iPad or online, show up to each lesson prepared, and your instructor sees exactly where you are.
- Courses
- More than 50 courses, including the Cirrus Private Pilot Program, transition training and specialty topics. Each one mixes video, interactive modules and quizzes.
- AR preflight
- Put a full-size SR Series aircraft in your living room and practice the walkaround in augmented reality before you ever touch the airplane.
- Your CSIP
- Paired with a Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilot, the app tracks your progress and flight log so each lesson picks up where the last one left off.
- Anywhere
- The Cirrus Approach iPad app, plus the online Learning Portal from any computer.
