Fly your Citation 500 series aircraft alone without the hassles and expenses of extra crewmembers!

When you hold this rating, and your Citation-500 Series aircraft is properly equipped, you can fly the aircraft alone, reducing the total expense and crew logistics for each flight.

The models included in this exemption are:

CE-500 – Citation 500 / CE-550 – Citation II / CS550 – Citation SII / CE-550 Bravo
CE-560 – Citation V / CE-560 Ultra / CE-560 Encore / Citation 552 (Military version)

Training:

This training usually takes one to three days and can be done in your aircraft, at your location. It includes several hours of ground training, then flight training to proficiency. If you have a trip planed, we can incorporate a LOFT (Line Oriented Flight Training) flight which cuts down on your over all training costs. If carrying passengers, a separate flight is required for the air work (stall series and steep turns) which the FAA does not allow with passengers onboard.

This exemption lasts for 12 calendar months after which recurrent training is required.

A recent student said of this course “I learned so much more flying my own airplane than I ever did in a simulator”.
