Differences training to CJ

To fly the oldest Citation Jet ✔️

Upon completion of your C525 typerating, your privileges are restricted to variant in which you passed your C525 skill test. Due to the limited simulator portfolio the privileges are usually restricted to the Cessna 525 CJ1+ or to Cessna 525 CJ3. To fly the Citation Jet you need this differences training.

Overview

Citation Jet Differences Training overview

The aim of the Citation Jet differences training course is to provide you with sufficient theoretical knowledge instruction as well as the practical flight training to operate the oldest - entry variant of the Cessna 525 Citation product line. Our type instructors have vast experience operating all the variants of the Cessna 525 Citation series. We can guarantee you the flawless differences training up to the highest industry standards.

The transition to Cessna 525 Citation Jet consists of 08:00 hours of variant-related differences ground school, 02:00 hands-on training and approximately additional 2 hours of the supervised operational experience (LIFUS). As far as possible, ProfiPilot Training is delivering the differences training as a competency based training considering your previous operational experience and the real equipment of the particular serial number.

The Citation jet differences training course is followed by the LIFUS or so-called supervised operational experience.

Differences

Transition to Citation Jet might be quite challenging for the pilots used to fly the advanced variants such as CJ2+ or newest M2.

Citation Jet shares almost the same fuselage with CJ1, CJ1+ and M2. The major difference is however the older avionics and some design changes in the system which might make the flying this variant a bit confusing. It also shares the basic six-pack with round dial instruments on the copilot's side and simple EFIS on the captain's side. 

There are however many modifications which already retrofit the aircraft with the modern and up-to-date avionics. But it is like a tuning the very old car - it will simply stay the same.

LIFUS

Upon completion of the familiarization the supervised operational experience or line flying under supervision might be required by the operator. In addition, the EASA CE525 OSD requires to use device for the differences training. ProfiPilot Training usually uses the aircraft of your operator for this purpose. 

The simulator for Citation Jet is considered to be not available, nor accessible. Due to this fact, the ProfiPilot Training is using the real aircraft for delivering the hands-on training. Important factor is also the personalization of particular serial number with installation of winglets or additional equipment. Due to this fact, the Citation Jet differences training delivered by ProfiPilot Training is truly a competency-based training.

You don’t find a style. A style finds you.

Cessna 525 is a legendary continuation of the Citation 500 series. Legend finds you and you will learn how to fly a legend. ProfiPilot Training offers the differences trainings for all Cessna 525 variants. All the courses are held by the type instructors with the vast in-time experience eager to share their experience with you.
