The standard program spans up to 35 hours over five consecutive days for Twin Cessnas, while the Cirrus SR-series program consists of up to 28 hours over four consecutive days. All programs are performance-based, presuming the pilot is rated and current for instrument flight, has at least 500 hours of pilot in command (PIC) time in high-performance aircraft and has reviewed the aircraft flight manual (AFM), though this is not a prerequisite. Your background and experience will be taken into account when designing a custom program to satisfy your individual needs.

Transitioning to the Twin Cessna or Cirrus SR-series

Pilots new to these aircraft often need to obtain additional dual flight instruction, called initial operating experience (IOE), from an approved instructor. This is typically required by their insurance underwriter, and goes beyond what is usually provided in a standard training program. RDS Pilot Training offers this supplemental training, which encompasses flight planning, weather briefing, pre-flight and post-flight inspections, classroom sessions, and impromptu briefings as needed, up to eight hours per day.

For pilots seeking further instruction, RDS Pilot Training also offers one-day and two-day recurrent pilot training. The one-day recurrent program is open to pilots who have attended approved training within the last six months or continuing customers who meet specific performance and experience standards. 

RDS Pilot Training also provides professional pilot service, aircraft relocation, and consulting services, including pre-purchase consulting. Through competitive pricing and years of experience, RDS Pilot Training offers the best value in excellent pilot training and associated services for the owners and pilots of Twin Cessna and Cirrus SR-series aircraft. The improvements in your safety and confidence will be immediately noticeable. Excellent training doesn't need to be lengthier or more costly.
