Cirrus has expanded its Cirrus Approach Flight Training curriculum with the new Cirrus Instrument Rating Program.
The Instrument Rating Program, designed by Cirrus instructor pilots, combines self-study with in-person flight training, according to company officials.
Company officials explain the new program includes three segments designed to offer the student and instructor maximum flexibility while providing support along the way:
- Flight lessons serve as the core of the program and can be adapted to match the student’s needs, whether you are graduating from the private pilot program or are a seasoned pilot.
- Knowledge Test Prep, a new functionality added to the Cirrus Approach Learning Platform designed to help students pass the FAA written exam.
- Supplemental lessons, which are optional and are intended to be used by students who are starting their instrument rating immediately after earning their private pilot certificates. These lessons are designed to help less experienced students accumulate the necessary flight hours while developing their flight skills, company officials note.
Students can enroll in the Instrument Rating Program through Cirrus Approach and then will need to locate a nearby Cirrus Training Center to schedule their in-person flight lessons. The course can be tailored to the student’s experience level, so the total time needed to complete the program varies from one to four months.
The course materials start at $950 and does not include instructor rates, Cirrus aircraft rental fees, or the cost of fuel.
