CE-525B Initial Type Rating Course Overview

Our CE-525B type rating course was built directly from our experience working with thousands of aviators over 20+ years.

Each training session is designed to teach you the fundamentals you will need in the air, as well as adapt to your personal strengths and weaknesses as a pilot. We find that in taking this approach to training instead of just passing your checkride, you will feel safe and competent leaving our facility.

LOFT provides comprehensive CE-525 training in our CJ3 Level D Full Flight Simulator, offering both Initial and Recurrent courses for the CE-525 and CE-525(S) type ratings. In addition to these core programs, we also offer CE-525(S) upgrade training, SIC Initials and Recurrents, and the option to complete your ATP checkride as part of your initial. Whether you operate in a crew environment or fly as a single pilot, our seasoned Citation instructors tailor each session to your experience level and goals, ensuring a focused, supportive environment that helps you build confidence in the aircraft.
