You can grab one of their flight operation standardization manuals for some idea about what they are doing. If you want to get an idea, Google Cirrus FOM. As others mentioned, it's geared toward those for whom a Cirrus is primary, whether as owner or renter. Training is extensive, expensive, and recurrent. So there is training geared toward Perspective avionics which is different from Avidyne. If it were just about stick and rudder skills, transition would be no more difficult than moving from a Cessna 172 to a Piper Arrow.īut, for better or worse, Cirrus has focused on systems and, especially once they moved away from the basic 6-pack, put together not only a type, but a suite specific package. Cirrus aircraft are indeed incredibly easy to fly. Here's the deal as best I have been able to figure it. Time in other aircraft may or may not be relevant. That makes the difference between the type specific training and the general training I've gotten is fairly small, but that certainly isn't the case for everyone.Ĭlick to expand.It depends. I feel like I must be fairly lucky because I think that nearly all the training I've received has been above average. To bring this back to the subject of the thread, my experience with the Malibu training also goes for all the advanced, type specific training I've received. Of course it helps that I also maintain the airplane so I've likely seen one farther apart than many of the training providers have. I didn't find the airplane hard to figure out at all and even after having taken initial and recurrent training from a few different providers haven't found any major gaps in my knowledge or experience that I need significant work on.
