CE-500 Single Pilot Exemption (Waiver) Training
Operate your Citation single pilot with confidence through simulator-based training.
Unlock the full potential of your aircraft with RTC’s CE-500 Single Pilot Exemption Training Course. This program is designed for Citation pilots who want greater operational flexibility without compromising safety. Our program allows pilots to complete their CE-500 Type Rating while also completing an ATP Course if needed. The curriculum focuses on mastering the single-pilot environment through simulator-based training and advanced Single Pilot Resource Management (SRM). By the end of the course, you will have the technical proficiency and decision-making confidence to operate your CE-500 series aircraft single pilot.
Training takes place in our FAA-qualified Level D full-flight simulator in Tampa, FL, equipped with Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics.
RTC also offers a PIC/SIC Recurrent Training Course for pilots looking to complete their rating or maintain proficiency.
