The Cessna Pilots Association's Flight Proficiency Program is designed for the Cessna 210/T210/P210 pilot who wants thorough, professional model-specific training in their aircraft. The basic curriculum includes aircraft documentation, performance, IFR procedures, current safety issues, ATC and airspace, and flight planning, and complements the comprehensive technical information offered in the CPA Systems and Procedures course. Pilots attending the CPA Flight Proficiency Program can expect approximately 10 hours of classroom time, 4 to 6 hours of flight instruction, and virtually unlimited hangar flying. We also tend to eat well and generally have a good time. All CPA flight instructors are high-time Cessna pilots as well as experienced CFIs. The ranks include 3 NAAFI Master Flight Instructors, an FAA Gold Seal Instructor, 3 Aviation Safety Counselors, and an average flight time of nearly 10,000 hours. The CPA instructors are based throughout California and the Southwest, and are available on an individual basis for the pilot who cannot attend a class or who wants a more flexible schedule. Participating pilots will benefit from this experience and can expect to leave the program with a Flight Review through the FAA's Wings Program, enhanced IFR skills, and a greater understanding of their aircrafts and their own capabilities.

At the present time CPA is offering the Flight Proficiency Program only for the 210 and only in Santa Maria. All CPA instructors, however, are available for teaching in a variety of Cessna models. Call CPA for information or to contact an instructor.
