With Cirrus Orlando, student pilots receive expert, personalized flight training from ground school and flight simulation to in-flight training in the latest G6 SR22 aircraft.
“Cirrus Aircraft’s new presence in Greater Orlando strategically complements our global partner network as the demand for personal aviation increases,” said Zean Nielsen, Chief Executive Officer of Cirrus Aircraft. “We are excited to open doors to those who are just beginning or continuing their aviation journey and to foster our relationships with existing customers by providing a convenient Southeast U.S. location for Cirrus-owned training, maintenance and aircraft management.”
Cirrus Orlando complements the global network of over 700 third-party training and service partners offering flight training by Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilots and Cirrus Training Centers and aircraft maintenance provided by Cirrus Authorized Service Centers.
