The Cirrus Recurrent Training Course is accepted by the FAA/Industry Training Standards. The course is comprised of three lessons and an optional biennial flight review and/or instrument proficiency check lesson after the recurrent training has been completed.
The amount of time it takes to complete the course for each person is dependent on several factors:
_ Experience level of the pilot;
_ Overall knowledge of the aircraft and avionics;
The Recurrent Training Program uses realistic, scenario-based training to challenge the pilot and maintain proficiency. This is a full-day course designed for Cirrus Pilots who have already completed Transition Training.
Weather and maintenance can play a role in the training schedule, so please build some flexibility into your personal schedule for any such delays.
Below is a brief outline of the recurrent training course.
Lesson 1:
This lesson is an introduction to Scenario Based Training (SBT) and Cirrus Recurrent Training. This ground lesson is to ensure that the Pilot in Training (PT) has an understanding of the POH and the contents of the Recurrent Training Program at a level in which the scenario-based training can be conducted efficiently, effectively and safely. This lesson will include analysis of decision making processes, Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) concepts and risk factors in relation to an accident scenario. This lesson will include an overview of the FAA Industry Training Standards (FITS) and the concepts of a FITS accepted course.
Lesson 2:
This lessonis to demonstrate ADM And SRM Skills during normal, abnormal and emergency operations, while demonstrating both automation and manual flying competence. Conducted on a paned VFR or IFR cross country scencario, the PT will generate acceptable solutions while effectively using al resoureces that are available.
