CIRRUS AIRCRAFT SAFETY COURSE
Description
This course was designed after observing continuous high number of accidents and incidents especially during take offs and landing phase of Cirrus aircraft even after having excellent CAPS and being a very capable airplane.
PURPOSE
Training and Proficiency
The purpose of this course is to train pilots and cover areas which is usually not covered in cirrus Embark training or by most instructors. We highly recommend 2 hours of recurrency every 6 month to stay proficient.
Under Lying Issue
Core Problem
One of the main issue with Technologically Advanced Aircraft is the false sense of safety it bring in. The pilots mindset is wrong from day one. The focus shifts on built in safely and avionics from day one from pilots and the the instructors. A safe pilot is a pilot who has excellent stick and rudder skills and uses the automation for make his or her life easier. Unfortunately most pilots are purchasing these airplanes because they think that the plane is going to fly them around and save them in case of an emergency. There is no denying that CAPS is a great life saver but unfortunately it doesn't help close to ground.
Icing with limited TKS and turbulence is also a concerning item in light general aviation airplanes.
OBJECTIVE
Course Objective
The objective of this course is to make you a safer pilot and minimize these incidents and fatal accidents which sadly effects the pilot ,family members, friends and other non occupied individuals. Our goal is 0% non injury and Fatal accidents.
TRAINING DETAILS
5 hour Course Objective
Areas of concern:
Slow flight, stall awareness, full stall and incipient spin Recovery.
Proper go around procedure.
Steep turns up to 60 degrees with a goal of +-50/100 feet tolerance.
Turbulence and Autopilot.
Limitations of FIKI with TKS.
Understanding weather limitations
Effect of icing in flights and on approach
Trim failure
Nose gear shimmy due to cross wind on landings.se gear shimmy due to cross wind on landing.
Effect of Torque.
Cross Wind take offs and landings
Non CAP Emergency landings and glides to available airport. This is practiced over an airport with no power and bringing the aircraft down to a safe complete stop. This also improves pilot skills with better judgement of glide distances and a better normal stabilized approach.
INSTRUCTION GIVEN
Professional Instructor
Training is conducted by highly experienced Cirrus Certified Instructor, CFI, CFII, MEI, MEII teaching since 1987 with over 12,000 of Flight instruction time. He has been flying Cirrus Aircraft since 2003 and is familiar with gen 1-7 and has thousands of hour on them. He is an ex UK CAA Flight Examiner. He has thought over a thousand pilots who are flying worldwide.
