High Performance Training
About the program
High performance training is for licensed pilots who want to step up from basic trainers. You learn the engine, power management and systems of a high-performance airplane, plus the planning and judgment that come with higher speeds and longer cross-country flights. When you finish, you receive the logbook endorsement that lets you act as pilot in command of a high-performance airplane.
We train in the Cirrus SR22T, a turbocharged, 315 horsepower airplane with a Garmin Perspective+ glass cockpit and the CAPS parachute system. Flying a modern high-performance airplane builds experience that stands out on a resume for pilots heading toward corporate or airline careers. Contact us to talk through your experience and goals.
What key steps will you take to complete the program?
-
Step 1
Learn High-Performance Systems on the Ground
Ground training covers the powerful engine, power and fuel management, and the systems and avionics of the SR22T. You learn how a high-performance airplane behaves differently from a basic trainer before you fly one.
-
Step 2
Fly the High-Performance Airplane
With your instructor you practice normal and emergency procedures, higher-speed handling, and the planning habits that go with fast cross-country flying. You fly the airplane until you can manage it safely and confidently.
-
Step 3
Earn Your High-Performance Endorsement
When your instructor is satisfied with your training, you receive the logbook endorsement for high-performance airplanes. It is a one-time sign-off and it opens the door to flying more powerful aircraft.
