                         Cirrus’ Instrument Rating Course Is Here!

To unlock the true capability of a Cirrus, you need to have your instrument rating. It’s the next step in your aviation journey. Because the Cirrus is unique and unlike most other general aviation planes, the talented media team at Cirrus has created their own Instrument Rating Course! This course is centered around the amazing capabilities of the Cirrus. From precision approaches to smooth en-route navigation, you’ll train with our expert Cirrus instructors in our state-of-the-art Cirrus G7 fleet.

Finish up your Private Pilot training with us

Need to polish off the last few flights to get ready for your checkride in a Cirrus? This is what our customer, Kevin E. did.  


Kevin came to us from the west coast to polish off his Private Pilot training and take his check ride, all in two weeks time. Mission accomplished!

 

When we called to check in with Kevin, he shared how impressed he was with the attention to detail in our service, even while balancing the demands of running his own business.

 

“Immersing myself in aviation was nothing short of amazing. The time I spent there was truly legendary. Having Sean and Gordon alongside me — and ultimately doing my check ride with Mike — was a surreal experience. It’s something you just can’t experience anywhere else.”
— Kevin E.

 

If you’re looking to finish up – feel free to check in with us to see how we can help.

Normalization of Deviance by Michael Goulian

COPA Magazine Article October 2025

“It’s cold and miserable, so I’m not going to drain the fuel tanks this time; I’ve never had a problem with this FBO…

 

I’d like to save a few minutes, so I’m going to run the before-takeoff checklist while I’m taxing (fast)…”

 

 

Sound familiar? These small “shortcuts” can quietly become habits. Bad habits. If you would like to read more on the phenomenon known as Normalization of Deviance, check out Michael’s perspective on The Safety Shortcut.
