Cirrus Promotes Aviation Safety with New Annual Flight Review Course for Pilots 

Cirrus announced its new SR Series Annual Flight Review Course, a Cirrus Approach™ module designed to promote continuous flight training, pilot proficiency, and safety for all pilots, including the thousands of SR20, SR22, and SR22T pilots worldwide regardless of current aircraft ownership. The Annual Flight Review consists of three segments—online learning, ground instruction, and flight instruction with a Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilot (CSIP), highlighting key focus areas such as stabilized approaches and go-arounds. The course is designed to be completed in a single half-day session with a CSIP and will be updated each year to cover the latest safety focus areas for pilots. 

“Cirrus is dedicated to promoting continuous flight training as a lifestyle,” said Zean Nielsen, Chief Executive Officer of Cirrus. “By increasing instructional touchpoints beyond just those required, Cirrus is creating more opportunities for pilots to practice critical skills in a safe and structured environment and then apply them in flight.”  

The SR Series Annual Flight Review Course is available for purchase through the Cirrus Approach portal or by contacting a Cirrus Training Center or CSIP. Completing this course with your CSIP satisfies the requirements of the FAA Flight Review (14 CFR Part 61.56) required every two years.  

Cirrus continues to invest in pilot training through a comprehensive ecosystem that includes the Cirrus Approach digital learning platform, a global network of certified instructors and training centers, factory-direct training, and a dedicated type-rating curriculum. The addition of the SR Series Annual Flight Review reinforces this commitment by providing pilots with a streamlined, recurrent training program that enhances proficiency, strengthens safety practices, and supports lifelong learning in aviation.
