The validity of the C525 type rating is one year. The revalidation of your rating (LPC – license proficiency check) can be performed within 90 days prior to the expiry date issued in the license.

If needed, we can offer a seat support (acting as pilot monitoring). Our examiners are registered with many civil aviation authorities and are able to perform proficiency checks or skill tests for all EASA member states.

If your type rating has expired, we offer renewal trainings to regain the level of proficiency required to safely operate the Citation 525. The amount of refresher training needed is determined on a case-by-case basis and depends on the on-type experience of the applicant, the amount of time elapsed since the expiry of the validity period of the rating and the pilot’s overall flight experience. Our training department reviews your documents and prepares a training program customized to your proficiency.

Please contact our sales department for more detailed information on the rules and procedures required by the different national authorities.

This course is designed for pilots who want to obtain an instructor's license - for type rating instruction in a simulator or in an aircraft (optionally). In the TRI/SFI course you will acquire the competence to design the theoretical and practical instruction of a Type Rating by addressing the individual learning behavior of student pilots. The Cessna Citation 525 is a single-pilot aeroplane, but is used commercially in multi-pilot operations. The training includes the acquisition of skills for teaching both, single-pilot and multi-pilot operations.

The TRI/SFI course comprises 3 modules:

Module 1: Teaching and Learning
Introduction to training and instructing techniques, candidate evaluation and lecturing. This module will be credited if the applicant already holds or has held a flight instructor license.
Module 2: Technical Course & FFS Training
The Technical Course enables the instructor to teach the type-specific syllabus for the C525. Particular attention to multi-crew cooperation or single-pilot operation are taught in respect of panel flow patterns, checklist strategy, workload management and task sharing.
Module 3: Assessment of Competence
An Assessment of Competence concludes the TRI/SFI course. Depending on the extend of the desired privileges, the assessment takes place at the FFS (TRI restricted) and/or at the aircraft (TRI unrestricted).

TRI restricted

1. privilege of type rating instruction on a FFS

(privileges granted depending on license-issuing authority: Conducting landing training on an aircraft after the type rating, privilege of conducting training flights for recent experience  - 3 take offs, approaches and landings during 90 days - on a FFS or an aeroplane)

TRI unrestricted

1. privileges of a TRI restricted
2. privilege of type rating instruction on an aeroplane

Entry requirements for TRI C525:

a) Hold a CPL, MPL or ATPL pilot license on the applicable aircraft category;
b) Have completed, within the 12 months preceding the date of application, 30 route sectors, including take-offs and landings, as PIC on the applicable aircraft type, of which 15 sectors may be completed in an FFS representing that type;
c) Have competed at least 500 hours flight time as pilot on aeroplanes, including 30 hours as PIC on the applicable type of aeroplane; OR hold or have held an FI certificate for multi-engine aeroplanes with IR(A) privileges.

Entry requirements for SFI C525:

a) hold or have held a CPL, MPL or ATPL pilot license on the applicable aircraft category
b) have completed the FSTD content of the applicable type rating course
c) have completed the proficiency check for the issue of the specific aircraft type rating in an FFS representing the applicable type, within the 12 months preceding the application
d) have completed at least 500 hours of flight time as PIC on single-pilot aeroplanes;
e) hold or have held a multi-engine IR(A) rating
f) completed, as a pilot or as an observer, within the 12 months preceding the application, at least:
(i) 3 route sectors on the flight deck of the applicable aircraft type (in a FFS or aeroplane); or
(ii) 2 line-orientated flight training-based simulator sessions conducted by qualified flight crew on the flight deck of the applicable type. These simulator sessions shall include 2 flights of at least 2 hours each between 2 different aerodromes, and the associated pre-flight planning and de-briefin.

The Multi Crew Cooperation Instructor Course is designed for pilots who want to instruct in an MCC course. Additionally, the MCCI course expands TRI privileges from instruction in the single-pilot environment to the multi-pilot environment.
