Whether you are transitioning into your first Cirrus from another aircraft type, completing your initial Cirrus checkout, or maintaining your IFR currency and CAPS proficiency, our programs are structured to match your experience level and scheduling needs. The Cirrus SR-20 represents the most technologically advanced single-engine aircraft available to pilots. The Garmin Perspective avionics suite (built on the G1000 NXi platform), the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS), and the composite airframe make the Cirrus a high-performance aircraft that rewards thorough transition training.

Century Air’s Cirrus training instructors hold FAA certifications and are experienced in the specific systems, emergency procedures, and avionics of the Cirrus fleet. Training covers aircraft systems and performance, Garmin Perspective avionics operation, CAPS activation and emergency procedures, takeoff and landing techniques, and IFR operations in the NYC area airspace. Century Air is also an insurance-approved training center, meaning your completion of an initial or recurrent Cirrus training course at our facility may satisfy insurance requirements for Cirrus owners and operators. Cirrus aircraft are available for extended periods for pilots who wish to rent the aircraft for business trips, or to build time after completing transition training. For pilots considering Cirrus ownership, our team can advise on training requirements and help you plan a checkout program tailored to your aircraft.

Century Air has provided Cirrus transition training since the SR-20 became established in the general aviation fleet. Our training programs are FAA 141 Approved and structured around the experience level of each pilot, from first-time Cirrus students to experienced owners completing recurrent training and IFR currency requirements. Training typically takes 5 to 15 hours depending on your current experience and goals, and can be scheduled flexibly around your availability at Essex County Airport.
