Duluth, MN & Knoxville, TN (12 October 2021) — Dedicated to a lifetime of learning and helping people become better pilots, Cirrus Aircraft today announced a complimentary Cirrus Approach™ course available to all aircraft enthusiasts and pilots regardless of the aircraft type they fly.

Now through the end of the year, the Cirrus Approach SR Series Takeoffs and Landings flight training course is complimentary to those who register. Takeoffs and Landings provides in-depth, digital instruction on procedures to ensure every takeoff and landing is safe, predictable and repeatable.

Cirrus Approach is an award-winning flight training program offering a diverse catalog of instructional video courses to anyone interested in earning their private pilot license or for the seasoned pilot to hone their skills. Through Takeoffs and Landings, Cirrus offers 10 real-world lessons during five hours of online training from preflight preparation to proper maneuver execution. Pilots learn about stabilized approach, crosswinds and slips, short-field takeoff and landing, night operations, abnormal or emergency considerations and more.

Nearly 50% of all aircraft incidents occur during the final descent and landing while nearly 15% of incidents occur during takeoffs and initial climb. With Takeoffs and Landings, Cirrus Aircraft helps ensure pilots are prepared and master the skills necessary for safe takeoffs and landings.
