Advance Your Skills
Earning your Private Pilot License is only the beginning of your aviation journey. As you grow as a pilot, expanding your ratings and certificates opens the door to greater capability, confidence, and freedom in the skies. At Elite, we provide advanced training that strengthens your skills, elevates your proficiency, and prepares you for more complex flying environments, from long cross-country flights to IFR conditions and eventually commercial-level operations.
We begin by helping you complete the requirements for more advanced flight experiences, including cross-country flights that build real-world decision-making and navigation skills. Your training is supported by the industry-leading Cirrus Approach™ curriculum, ensuring every lesson reflects the highest standards of safety, structure, and scenario-based learning.
Whether you are pursuing aviation as a profession or simply want to become a more capable and confident pilot, Elite is committed to supporting your growth every step of the way.
Bespoke Lessons and Transition Courses
Moving to a new aircraft or Cirrus model can be exciting, but it also comes with unique challenges. At Elite Aircraft Services, we help pilots confidently transition from non-Cirrus aircraft to any Cirrus model or progress between SR20, SR22, and Vision Jet platforms.
Our training is fully personalized to your needs. We provide one-off recurrent training, spouse or passenger safety briefings, and lessons tailored to upcoming flight plans, such as your first time flying in the mountains, to remote islands, or internationally. Our Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilots ensure you gain the knowledge, proficiency, and confidence to operate your aircraft safely and efficiently.
With Elite, your training is structured around your goals so you can enjoy every flight with confidence.
