Why invest time and money in Transition Training?

Think of transition training as being a "penalty free zone" for learning to fly an airplane that is probably faster and more responsive than most airplanes you've flown in the past. Sure, you might make a mistake or two during training, but flying with an instructor will make you a safer and more confident pilot when it's time for you to fly your own RV. Transition Training familiarizes you with the flight characteristics of the RV so you can manage the extra risk associated with flight testing. But whether you're building your own RV or buying one that is already flying, all pilots can benefit from a few hours of instruction before first flights in their new plane.

You are the "Flight Management System" for your RV; and Transition Training provides the right "software" for your system. Stalls, slow-flight, short and soft field technique, and practicing other basic flight maneuvers will sharpen your skills and effectively prepare you to fly your RV.

Transition Training is readily available, inexpensive, fun, and for those who have to have "icing on the cake"... Some aircraft insurance policies cover your aircraft from the first flight if you've completed transition training!

So we hope you'll consider signing up for Transition Training. The benefits are clear!
