Through the Sonex T-Flight Transition Training Program,
students have the opportunity to experience training at
the Sonex Aircraft, LLC factory in Oshkosh, WI. Ground
and flight instruction (dual instruction only) is
available in the Sonex factory prototype aircraft that
are most appropriate to students’ needs, given by Sonex
Aircraft’s own Certified Flight Instructors. Per FAA
LODA requirements, the training is for aircraft
familiarization and transition purposes only. Student
applicants must already hold a pilot certificate with
appropriate category and class rating, as well as any
required endorsements.
Sonex has created a comfortable pilot lounge & training
environment within the Sonex Aircraft, LLC factory
headquarters campus so that students may familiarize
themselves with Sonex Aircraft flight handling and
procedures via ground instruction and dual instruction
flights from the runways of the historic Wittman
Regional Airport. Training is offered in packages that
include Basic Aircraft Familiarization, as well as
packages created to suit the two most common training
requirement standards set-forth by homebuilt aircraft
insurance underwriters. Group discounts are offered on
ground instruction rates for groups of two students or
more. For full details, package pricing, and
registration information.
"In addition to our transition training packages here at
Sonex, students can further take advantage of the
Oshkosh area as a landmark destination for pilots," says
Jeremy Monnett. "In addition to experiencing the
world-class EAA AirVenture Museum, pilots can also
pursue training from other local flight schools
as-needed, including pursuit of a tailwheel
endorsement."
For those wishing to experience flight in a Sonex
Aircraft who are not certificated pilots with
appropriate ratings and endorsements, Sonex recommends
flying with other Sonex Aircraft Customers. Sonex pilots
can be found via the searchable Sonex Builder Database.
There are also several Sonex Builders’ Events held
throughout the year, at which Sonex Aircraft rides are
commonly given, and can be found using the Sonex
Builders' Events Calendar.
