Cirrus Aircraft rolled out a new simulator training initiative aimed at helping SR20 and SR22 owners build and maintain proficiency year‑round, the manufacturer announced Monday.

Dubbed Mission Ready Simulator Sessions, the program provides a structured, scenario‑driven series of simulator flights designed specifically around real‑world mission profiles. The sessions — now available at participating Cirrus Training Centers across the United States — are offered at no cost to SR Series owners.

The curriculum features 24 scenario‑based missions released twice monthly, allowing owners to complete up to 12 sessions per year. Each mission is designed around real‑world flight scenarios and integrates risk management, aircraft systems practice, and decision-making exercises to keep training engaging and relevant.

“Structured simulation is one of the most effective tools for strengthening pilot decision-making,” said Cirrus CEO Zean Nielsen. The company describes the sessions as the first phase in a broader effort to expand flight training content focused on safety.

Each mission is developed by Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilots (CSIPs) and includes realistic ATC communications, clear objectives, and decision points for pilots to navigate. Cirrus notes that simulator training helps pilots sharpen cognitive and procedural skills without the cost or scheduling constraints of flying a real aircraft.

The new sessions build on Cirrus’ existing training offerings, including transition courses, recurrent training, and hands-on instruction at Cirrus Training Centers nationwide.

Owners can enroll through Cirrus Approach and begin working through the monthly missions at their convenience.
