The type rating also includes use of a dedicated Vision Jet flight simulator – the only one in the world outside of Cirrus’ own Vision Centre in Knoxville, Tennessee, USA.
The 200th Vision Jet was delivered last month and there are now more than 400 type-rated pilots.
The new Vision Jet training programme at Aero Poznan includes recurrent training as well as the initial EASA Vision Jet Type Rating. Additionally, an Introduction to the Vision Jet course is also offered to prepare position holders for the type rating syllabus. More details here.
The move is part of a wider push by Cirrus
Aircraft to expand its services internationally, including purchase options through the launch of Cirrus Global Finance.
“The expansion of Cirrus Global Finance offers our international customers unparalleled access to The Cirrus Life,” said Zean Nielsen, Chief Executive Officer at Cirrus Aircraft.
“It brings an additional level of convenience and predictability as future owners seek out alternative ways to travel, with the added assurance of safety and security afforded by personal aviation.”
Cirrus Global Finance is available to international customers in over 170 countries across the world through AirFinance, with support from the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM). This new partnership expands convenient ownership options for customers around the world.
