Cirrus launches Mission-Ready Simulator sessions Cirrus Aircraft announced the launch of Mission-Ready Simulator Sessions, a comprehensive, year-long simulator training programme developed specifically for Cirrus SR20 and Cirrus SR22 owners. The complimentary program is now live and available at participating Cirrus Training Centers in the U.S. Mission Ready Simulator delivers 24 structured, mission-based simulator sessions released twice per month, giving SR Series owners a continuous, scenario-driven pathway to maintain and elevate proficiency year-round. Owners may complete one of the two available sessions each month—for a total of up to 12 sessions annually—providing flexibility while encouraging consistent, ongoing engagement. “Extensive aviation research along with decades of operational experience in flight training environments continues to demonstrate that structured simulation is one of the most effective tools for strengthening pilot decision-making and sustaining proficiency,” said Zean Nielsen, Chief Executive Officer of Cirrus. “The Cirrus Mission Ready Simulator Sessions program represents the first phase of a broader investment to expand flight training content designed to enhance safety through continuous learning.” All Mission Ready Simulator Sessions are developed by experienced Cirrus Standardised Instructor Pilots. Through each course, Cirrus owners complete operational missions that integrate real-world decision-making, aircraft systems knowledge application, risk management and purposeful use of Cirrus aircraft features. Realistic ATC communications are embedded within each scenario, and instructors are supported with clearly defined objectives and integrated decision points to ensure high-quality flight training. Mission Ready Simulator Sessions is currently live. Regular content updates are delivered within the first week of each month. Owners can enroll immediately through Cirrus Approach and complete sessions at participating Cirrus Training Centers nationwide.
