Cirrus Transition Training - Turbo Differences - Estimated Costs

This course is designed to transition Cirrus pilots into a turbonormalized Cirrus from a normally aspirated SR22. Pilots that have previously completed transition training in a normally aspirated SR22 equipped with a glass cockpit should use this course to learn the operational differences of the turbonormalized SR22.

The Turbo Differences course is designed to familiarize operators with the unique operating procedures for the turbonormalized engine. Normal and abnormal procedures will be covered. In addition to operating procedures, the course will cover high altitude operations and physiology. Upon successful completion of all course objectives, your instructor will issue a certificate of completion and a course summary detailing flight and ground time acquired during this course.
