cirrus sr22 factory training

[check6]

The last cirrus accident I recall was because the pilot flew into some ice.

OUCH!!!

Ok, any info from the guys and gals that did the training? I am going through it next week and would like to get some information about it. What you could have done differently? What do you recommend.. etc.
When I got the material it looked like i was going to go through 737 type rating But, the material is pretty straight forward.

Thanks in advance...

If you're going for the CSIP rating, memorize the stall speeds at the most aft position and the 45 and 60 degree banks. It's on the test.

Otherwise just know the profiles for the aircraft you'll be flying. They really do want 100 knots on downwind, 90 on base, and slow to 75-90 on final.

Know the Garmin 430 and be able to enter and use flight plans.

Don't let them push you into flying into known ice. The NTSB defines "known ice" as "flight in visible moisture in the freezing level [0 through -70C]".

Other than the above, go have some fun. I'm picking up a plane on Friday. It's my fifth delivery.

Fly SAFE!

Greetings,

I am taking the demo ride this week. What are you paying to do the course? I would like to take it as I teach as well? Live in MSP would be an easy trip up there.

Thanks

cirrus sr22 factory training
anyone been through the three day factory instructor training up in minnesota?

Shouldn't that just be called "Jump School?"

Arch! Look! Reach! Pull!

Check canopy!

Now you're a cirrus pilot. Go forth, and try to kill as few people as possible.

I went to the factory about 2 years ago for a migration, and its a very nice facility and from what the other pilots/owners have told me they all had a great experience. The Garmin and Avedine aren't too bad to learn (granted you have some gps experience). You'll have a good time there, oh and the social scene there sucks.

I am a full time Cirrus Instructor and charge 65 an hour and 595 a day and we charge 20 grand for a private license. I travel all over the country and have more business than I can handle. Hell of a niche in the market to be in. Plus I don't have to teach snot nosed kids on there way to the regional graveyard. Just rich owners that like to pay for everything and go cool places.

Dang... not too shabby.
Hmm... I was actually thinking about doing something like this last night when i finish up all of my ratings. But i never thought that it was feasable because of the lack of demand. But i guess i was wrong...

How should i get started? What are the steps? How do you go about getting the clients? Do you use your own plane? Or theirs?
