Partner-in-Command

Discover the Value of Partner-in-Command Training

This unique program fosters confidence among your passengers by introducing them to the essential safety features of Cirrus aircraft and demonstrating how they can assist in routine and emergency procedures.

Most pilots that want to fly a Cirrus aren’t just doing it for themselves. Their goal is to take their friends and family on vacation, for cool day trips or even just for breakfast at a nearby airport.

Either way, it’s nice to have partner “buy-in” on the entire experience and very often that means making sure that your significant other is comfortable flying with you. It’s not as simple  trusting the pilot, but having them understand the basics of aircraft safety features, radio communication and emergency procedures.

P6 is proud to offer a Partner-in-Command course. The intent is to introduce the essentials of flying to a spouse, child, friend, parent or anyone that may accompany you in the airplane.

What is Covered In Partner-in-Command

We focus on communication protocols, weather awareness, handling essential cockpit tasks, and basic navigation principles—all tailored to help your partner feel secure and involved during every flight.
