Cirrus training & FAA-to-EASA support
Personalised Cirrus SR22T training and structured FAA-to-EASA licence transition support for international pilots operating in European airspace.
Training environment
Cirrus training is most useful when it is connected to the missions pilots actually fly: weather, terrain, avionics, unfamiliar airspace and real arrival decisions.
Approach videos
Real flight footage gives a better sense of sight picture, runway awareness and the calm, structured workflow behind a well-managed approach.
A complete cockpit perspective of the final stages of an arrival.
A compact view of the final moments before reaching the threshold.
Training programmes
The objective is not only to fly the aircraft, but to understand its systems, automation, performance and decision-making demands in real European operations.
A structured introduction for pilots moving to the Cirrus SR22T or returning after a longer break.
Individual refresher training focused on proficiency, risk management and reliable cockpit routines.
Preparation for pilots new to European airspace, Austrian procedures or mountainous terrain.
FAA-to-EASA licence transition
Annex 3 of the EU-US Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement and the associated Technical Implementation Procedures – Licensing (TIP-L) provide a defined pathway for eligible holders of an FAA Private Pilot Licence to obtain an EASA Part-FCL PPL.
Support can begin with an individual eligibility and gap review, followed by a clear plan for the applicable medical, language, theoretical knowledge, training, test and application requirements. The objective is to recognise relevant FAA experience while preparing you properly for the European licensing environment.
We also support you through the EASA medical process and can connect you with a suitable Aero-Medical Examiner (AME) for the required medical examination.
TIP-L applies to eligible PPL conversions. FAA CPL and ATPL conversions follow the standard EU third-country licence process.
For international pilots
Flying in Europe can feel unfamiliar even to highly experienced pilots. Airspace is compact, procedures vary between countries and weather decisions often need to be made with limited margins.
The training is tailored to your background, aircraft and intended missions. It can combine ground preparation, cockpit familiarisation, local area flying, cross-country scenarios and, where appropriate, IFR-oriented coaching.
Instruction is available in English and German. Training may be organised from a suitable location in Austria or, by arrangement, at another European location.
Support is also available for the EASA medical process, including preparation of the requirements and access to a suitable Aero-Medical Examiner.
Training process
Your licences, recent experience, avionics background and operational goals are reviewed.
The programme is adapted to your experience, aircraft configuration and intended missions.
Systems knowledge, cockpit workflow and scenario-based flying are combined.
You receive a structured debrief and practical recommendations for continued proficiency.
Your instructor
I am an experienced European flight instructor and flight examiner with a strong focus on practical, disciplined and safety-oriented general aviation training.
My approach combines accurate aircraft handling with modern cockpit management, operational decision-making and clear communication. Training is conducted without unnecessary pressure and with enough time to understand not only what to do, but why.
With 40 years of aviation experience, I combine long-term practical judgement with current European training and examination standards. Instruction is available in English and German.
Frequently asked questions
No. The programme can be adapted for a first Cirrus transition, a move from another high-performance single or a return to the aircraft after a break.
Yes, subject to aircraft documentation, insurance approval, airworthiness and the agreed training location.
Duration depends on recent experience, avionics familiarity, licence privileges, insurance requirements and training objectives.
The exact completion documentation depends on the agreed training programme and the applicable authorisation. This will be clarified before training begins.
In many cases, yes. Licensing, validation, insurance and aircraft requirements must be checked before training begins.
No. The BASA TIP-L pathway applies to eligible FAA PPL holders seeking an EASA Part-FCL PPL and can include certain associated ratings. FAA CPL and ATPL conversions follow the standard EU third-country licence process. Exact requirements must be confirmed with the relevant licensing authority.
Yes. We can support you with the medical requirements and arrange contact with a suitable Aero-Medical Examiner for the required examination.
