VECTORAVIATION

Fly further.
Fly better.

Cirrus and advanced flight training at Oxford and Jersey. Instrument ratings, Cirrus transition and touring the Channel Islands and Europe, taught by instructors who fly it every week.

Training for pilots who want more from their flying. We specialise in the Cirrus and in advanced training: the skills, the judgement and the confidence to fly further, in more weather, with real precision.

Instrument rating

The competency-based instrument rating (CB-IR), built around you. After an assessment flight we choose the modules you need, so you train for what you don’t yet know, not what you already do.

  • Modular CB-IR, tailored to each pilot
  • Every lesson graded, with a clear plan for the next
  • Hours tracked against the requirements as you go

Transition onto the Cirrus, and keep current in it. The airframe parachute, the glass cockpit and the autopilot, taught the way they are meant to be used.

  • Transition and differences training
  • Recurrent training and proficiency flights
  • Avionics and autopilot, flown in real airspace
