Cirrus CSIP

Cirrus CSIP Platinum Partner

Greg is a Platinum CSIP – Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilot – which means that he is factory trained and regularly audited by Cirrus to continuously provide superb instruction in Cirrus SR22 and SR20, all model types – SR-22T G5 with Garmin Perspective avionics, SR22T and TN G3 (Perspective and Avidyne), SR-22 G2 Avidyne, and all variants.

From the Cirrus Flight Training website:

CSIP: These professional flight instructors have undergone extensive ground and flight training in Cirrus aircraft to distinguish themselves as an expert in Cirrus flight training. All CSIPs use standardized flight operations manuals, syllabus suites, and procedures to ensure that your flight training is consistent with other Cirrus pilots’ training and with that of the factory training at Cirrus Headquarters.

CSIPs can accommodate almost any flight training request or requirement and are the preferred training providers by leading insurance underwriters. Cirrus Aircraft strongly recommends that all initial and recurrent Cirrus training be conducted by a CSIP, a CTC, or with a factory instructor from Cirrus Headquarters. Schedule your next flight with a Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilot near you.

Cirrus Transition Training
Greg provides initial Cirrus Transition Training and Cirrus CSIP Flight Training in all models of Cirrus SR22 and SR20.

Cirrus services offered:

  • Cirrus Transition training
  • Avidyne / Perspective and Turbo Differences training
  • Insurance-mandated recurrency training
  • Flight Review (BFR)
  • Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC)
  • Acceptance & delivery from the factory
  • Ferry / maintenance / repositioning flights
  • Learn while you travel pilot services
  • Customized programs tailored to your needs

Ferry / Delivery: One of the most fun missions is to go get your new airplane in another part of the country, and fly it home – getting your checkout training along the way. Greg works with new Cirrus owners all the time – picking up a new plane at the factory in Duluth, or picking up a new-to-you plane anywhere in the country and getting it back home with you.

As an alternative to large flight schools / flying clubs, Greg offers his own 2004 SR22-G2 for rental during training.  If you plan to be in the San Francisco Bay Area anytime soon, consider making a reservation to rent the plane and hire Greg for a few hours.  You might want to experience flying the San Francisco Bay Tour or take the 50 minute flight to Lake Tahoe for some incredible scenery and mountain flying experience.

Whether you already own a Cirrus, or are thinking of transitioning (or buying), contact Greg to discuss your flight training plan. He looks forward to speaking with you!

Purchase and Transition

Cockpit demeanor like no other instructor I’ve encountered. Great teaching style.

He’s a Cirrus Owner Too

Since Greg’s a Cirrus owner as well, I appreciated the inside scoop on ownership issues.

Avidyne Transition Training

I very much enjoyed working with Greg during my transition to SR22!

Greg’s YouTube Channel

Great presence and calm in the cockpit. I might have to make a trip to CA for my instrument rating.

New To SR22T

Greg helped me transition from a DA40 to my new SR22T, and it was a blast. Thank you!

SR22-G2 Avidyne Training

Quality Cirrus flight training made useful and fun. Thanks!

Turboprop Future

Upgraded from SR22 to a Meridian. Was told at SimCom that my instrument CFI prepared me very well.

Delivery and Ferry

Greg was a great help during my purchase and transition, and I intend to use him for my IFR rating.

Aircraft Management

Got my Instrument Rating with Greg and he manages my aircraft too. Exceeds expectations!

Really Long XC

Needed to move my Cirrus from the East Coast to California. With Greg along I learned a ton and had a blast!

Recurrent Training

I work with Greg every couple of months doing refresher flights, both VFR and IFR. Time well spent.
