Legacy training systems leave a gap in training to fly modern airliners.
Legacy Flight Training
• Serial – “ratings focused”
• Maneuvers-based
• Emphasizes stick and rudder skills
• Analog data processing
Cirrus Aircraft - Confidential
Airline Competency-based Training Model
• Application of Procedures
• Communication
• Aircraft Flightpath Management-Automation
• Aircraft Flightpath Management-Manual

The objective should be to produce
indoc-ready first officers, not a certificate
or a number in a logbook.

Industry Leading Safety and Comfort
The NASA developed “cuffed” airfoil
- Helps prevent base-to-final
stall/spin accident
- Additional benefits from this
design are superior stability
and safety during maneuvering
flight, especially low-level during
low-level surveilane operations
Other advanced safety systems include
- ESP
- Hypoxia check
- Automatic descent mode
- Factory installed air conditioning, side yoke
design and large cabin reduces fatigue
during extended operations

Cirrus SR22 OH-58
Comparison based on acquiring a new well equipped SR22
with completed integration including mapping software, air to
ground radios and operators screen.
After 1900 hours the SR22 pays for itself when
compared to a traditional surplus rotor-winged asset.
Additional Multi-Mission
Value- Rapid executive transport
- Year round operations with FIKI
- Shifting hours reduces fatigue on
helicopter fleet
- Increased flight hours enhances
pilot proficiency and recruitment
