The VFR Transition Courses will cover the following items:

• Operational characteristics specific to Cirrus aircraft
• VFR Maneuvering, takeoffs, and landings
• Avionics and autopilot usage and management
• Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) and Risk Management
• Cross country flight procedures
• Abnormal and emergency procedures
• Scenarios for use of the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS)
• Avionics malfunctions and abnormalities
• Program, configure, and interpret Primary Flight Display (PFD) and Multi-Function Display (MFD) information for normal visual conditions

Typically, proficient pilots can expect to spend approximately three days (or equivalent) to complete the course. Emphasis is placed on the pilot gaining proficiency in all of the areas listed above. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to understand and operate relevant aircraft systems, maintain positive aircraft control in visual conditions and limited instrument conditions. Due to the technology integrated into the aircraft, significant emphasis is placed on your ability to effectively manage these resources to the extent necessary for flight in visual flight conditions. Actual time requirements may vary depending on your previous flight experience. Completion of the course can accomplish the requirements for a flight review.

Cirrus Transition Training Syllabus Averages:

• 10 hours Cirrus Flight Time (6 hours minimum)

This training applies to Cirrus pilots upgrading from traditional to electronic instruments, Avidyne to Perspective or Perspective to Avidyne. Pilots must have extensive and recent Cirrus experience and/or previously completed Cirrus Transition Training. This one-day course focuses on the different skills required to operate the avionics system in a VFR environment. Instrument tasks may be added at the discretion of the instructor considering the Cirrus pilot’s performance and aptitude.

• Cirrus pilots who are learning to fly a Cirrus aircraft with a new avionics platform
• 1 day
• focuses on the different skills required to operate the avionics system in a VFR environment

The CAPS is designed to lower the aircraft and its passengers to the ground in the event of a life‐threatening emergency. Possible CAPS activation scenarios should be well thought out and mentally practiced by every Cirrus pilot.  Pilots who conduct CAPS training and practice using CAPS will have a higher probability of activating CAPS successfully when necessary.

• Review available documentation about your aircraft and it’s safety features and systems (CAPS).
• Scenario based training with CAPS
