Cirrus Flight Training

Accelerated Instrument Rating Flight Training

9/7/2019

Comments

 
Flight training in a Cirrus SR22 to earn your Instrument rating can be done relatively quickly.  In some cases in as little as  7-10 days.  This depends on what you have already accomplished.

Look for an airport that is in Class E airspace and has multiple instrument approaches so that you can maximize your time in the air.

One great location is the island of Lanai, Hawaii.  This Class E airspace has an ILS DME Arc, and VOR-A, and GPS approaches along with holding patterns nearby.  This is one of the most efficient places to train.

Good crosswinds also make for excellent practice at this airport.

Take advantage of our "nearly" free IFR Instrument Rating Ground School course.
