When Wright Aviation began around 2000, our focus was the Cirrus aircraft. In short order, many clients began wanting a little more performance and space. The PA46 Malibu/Mirage/Meridian family is where many went. We saw this as the future for our business and we switched to become a PA46 and P46T-focused training provider. Despite our expansion to cover many more piston models, the Malibu and its successors, the Mirage and the Matrix, serve as one of the largest cumulative percentage of our customer base over the decades in the training business.
Our initial transition training for the Piper PA46 Piston Series is an FAA FITS formatted program. It is designed to bring you up to speed on your aircraft, its systems, operations, procedures, and handling characteristics in an organized, thorough and efficient manner. The program relies upon highly experienced and skilled instructors, a thorough, self-directed pre-work process followed by a series of full emersion, one-on-one sessions involving both classroom and actual flight training, in your own airplane, logging real flight time. The process is tailored to you, your background, your learning style and on your schedule. When you complete our program you will be proficient in VFR and IFR conditions, able to handle normal, abnormal and emergency scenarios to the standards established for your pilot certificate.
Because you bring a unique set of experiences and knowledge to the initial training process, it is flexible, and seeks to build on your prior experiences, while setting the proper framework for the safe operation of this highly advanced, incredible high- performance aircraft. The goal of transition training is to provide you with the knowledge, skill, and self-confidence to begin flying your new-to-you PA46 so you can take full advantage of all its unique capabilities and characteristics
