Course Descriptions

The document details several training courses for the Citation CE-500 series. Initial training covers aircraft systems, performance, and procedures, requiring 12-14 days with 37 hours of ground school. Upgrade training is for experienced pilots and takes 6-8 days with 16 hours of ground school. Recurrent training lasts 3-4 days with 8 hours of ground school, focusing on practicing normal and emergency procedures. The SPE course allows pilots to operate the aircraft without a second pilot, requiring 3-4 days of training.

Simulator Training

Simulator training includes briefing and debriefing sessions for each module, covering weather, performance calculations, and maneuvers. The training modules focus on aircraft orientation, normal, abnormal, and emergency procedures, helping pilots develop skills necessary for operating the aircraft with and without automatic flight control systems.

Prerequisites

The document outlines prerequisites for various training courses. For initial training, pilots must hold at least a Private Pilot Certificate with Multi-Engine Land and Instrument Rating. Upgrade training requires prior experience as a Second in Command (SIC) in the same aircraft type. Recurrent training mandates that pilots hold the appropriate CE-500 type rating.

Course Descriptions Initial Training: SIMCOM’s Citation CE-500 initial courses provide a comprehensive overview of aircraft systems, performance, and procedures. You will have the opportunity to gain knowledge and proficiency in normal and emergency procedures. The combination of our, high fidelity simulators, small class sizes and experienced instructors provides the ideal learning environment. Upon successful completion of the course you will receive a CE-500 type rating (PIC or SIC as appropriate) along with instrument proficiency, takeoff and landing currency and a flight review. Upgrade Training: SIMCOM’s Citation CE-500 upgrade course is designed for the experienced second in command to obtain a type rating in the airplane in fewer hours than an initial course. Like the initial course you will receive systems training and simulator training but with reduced hours reflecting your experience in the airplane. In addition to a type rating you will also satisfy instrument proficiency, and takeoff and landing currency requirements.

You will also review aircraft systems, performance and procedures. Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a CE-500 61.58 proficiency check, along with instrument proficiency and takeoff and landing currency. Single Pilot Exemption (SPE): SIMCOM’s Citation 500 SPE course is designed for pilots that hold a CE-500 type rating that desire to operate the aircraft without requiring a second in command pilot. Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a CE-500 61.58 proficiency check, along with instrument proficiency and takeoff and landing currency. Details Ground School: GOS: General Operational Subjects includes training on the following operational areas: • Weight and Balance, Planning and Performance • Adverse Weather • Aircraft Manuals AC SYS: Aircraft Systems segment consist of a breakdown of the various systems of the aircraft. SIT/CPT: Systems Integration Training provides ground instruction that emphasizes the aircraft systems interrelationships. This training includes normal, abnormal and emergency AFM / AOM / checklist procedures, pilot flying (“PF”) / pilot monitoring (“PM”) duties and other elements of crew coordination, such as avionics / automation management specific to the aircraft. SIT will be conducted in a classroom and by using an appropriate training device. Simulator Training: BRIEF: Briefing / Debriefing is required for each flight training module. Elements of Briefing include the following: • Weather briefing • Performance, weight and balance calculations • Maneuvers and procedures • Performance standard • Any other areas the instructor finds applicable Elements of the Debriefing include the following: • Any highlighted areas of concern • Answering trainee questions • Preview of the subsequent lesson • Any other areas the instructor finds applicable SIM PF: Simulator training modules will consist of Aircraft Orientation, Normal, Abnormal and Emergency Procedures. This training provides instruction to develop the skills necessary to maneuver the aircraft with and without the automatic flight control systems. Selected abnormal and emergency procedures are introduced and practiced. The pilot will become proficient in the use of checklists, precision approaches, non-precision approaches and full integration of avionics systems Checkride: Oral/Check: Checkrides are required for all courses. Initial, Upgrade and ATP Recurrent courses require a standalone checkride, while checkrides for Recurrent courses are typically conducted as a progressive check. Checkrides normally consist of a 2 hours Oral Examination, 1.5 hours of Brief/Debrief and 2.5 hours of Simulator.
