 TAA UK currently have a mixed fleet of both 'G' and 'N' registered Cirrus... both SR20's, SR22's and SR22 Turbo's...and are the leading experts for the Avidyne Glass Cockpit, Cirrus Persepctive by Garmin and the new Avidyne Release 9 cockpit. Other Glass training includes the G1000.
TAA UK also specialises in the FAA Instrument Rating, PPL Training, IMC Ratings and Night Ratings.
To complete the training package, we have two Computer Based Training (CBT) flight simulators designed on the Cirrus aircraft. For Cirrus rental all we would ask is that should you not have completed a Cirrus Transition Training course, that you complete the course with one of our Instructors who will then be able to sign you off and issue you with a Cirrus Standardized Certificate. This certificate is valid world wide and is recognised at all Cirrus Training Centres, so should you want to rent while you are on holiday remember to take your certificate with you.
The Cirrus Standardized Transition Training course is approximately 10 hours of flying, plus ground school. We have trained many pilots to fly the Cirrus and have found that most of them are comfortable flying the plane after about 8 - 15 hours. Even some experienced pilots have taken 10 hours until happy. The whole course normally takes about 3 days to complete, depending on how much study has been done beforehand.
 Firstly, you will sit down with our Cirrus Standardized Instructor and chat about the basic avionic integration and handling characteristics of the Cirrus (0.5 day in the classroom). You will then have a good look around it in the form of an ‘A' check and for the rest of the day go flying. The training is scenario based, so all the flying is done from one airfield to another to simulate everyday flight, showing you how to operate it in the safest and most efficient way possible.
Specialising in Cirrus Transition Training, we can travel to your home airfield with a Cirrus SR20 or SR22 and complete the required training, preparing you for the delivery day of your own Cirrus. If you'd rather come to us, the training can be completed at Denham. The choice is yours.
If you already have your Cirrus we can travel to your aeroplane's base and fulfill your training requirement in your own aeroplane. If you are new to Technically Advanced Aircraft (TAA) it is always a good idea to get a head start with your training by reading and using some of the manuals and simulators available on our website. This will make your learning experience more pleasurable and won't stretch your capacity while you are taking in more information.
More and more TAA (Technically Advanced Aircraft) are arriving into our airspace. More and more pilots want to become more proficient in using the aircraft to its full ability. Flying these aeroplanes is a joy and we can show you how to make the aeroplane work for you in the simplest way. Knowing how the GPS, Autopilot and MFD/PFD screens can be linked to each other to reduce your workload is just a case of understanding.
During the legs, you will look at various manoeuvres such as slow flight, stalls, advanced turns etc, so you can see the difference between the Cirrus and the aircraft you are used to in various situations, plus circuit work at each of the airfields.
The second day is taken up with more advanced avionic work, general handling and circuits, making sure you are happy with abnormal situations and how to best deal with them.
The third day will be emergency procedures....showing you where the rocket is and how it works, where the parachute is and how it works, failing the avionic equipment and PFL's. Some pilots also like to use this day to try instrument approaches and IFR work.
Should you decide to go ahead with the Transition Training, we will require the following from you:
Copy of your passport
Copy of your Pilots Licence
Copy of your Medical
Copy of last entries in your log book
And proof of your address...ie: utility bill
