Cirrus Transition Training - Perspective Differences VFR - Estimated Costs

We have this page here on our website in order to give you a basic idea of what the Cirrus Perspective Differences Course might cost the average VFR pilot. This course is designed to transition current and proficient Cirrus pilots into a Cirrus aircraft installed with the Cirrus Perspective avionics system. Pilots that have previously completed transition training in the same model of Cirrus aircraft equipped with an Avidyne PFD and MFD should use this course to learn the operational differences of the Cirrus Perspective avionics system.

This differences course will teach you the unique operating procedures of the Cirrus Perspective avionics for both normal and abnormal situations. Upon successful completion of all course objectives, your instructor will issue you a certificate of completion and a course summary detailing flight and ground time acquired during this course.
