Few hold a Cirrus Training Center Designation, CSIP/TCI-certified instructors, and a fleet starting with the 2026 SR20 G7+.
An officially certified Cirrus Training Center (CTC) — not just a school that happens to own Cirrus planes. Our curriculum, instructors, and standards are certified by Cirrus Aircraft. Having a Cirrus Training Center Designation allows our team to work closely with Cirrus to deliver an experience that goes above and beyond the norm.
Our 2026 SR20 G7+ includes Garmin SAFE RETURN™ Emergency Autoland. You’ll train on the most advanced, safest Cirrus SR20 currently on the market — a technology most training fleets don’t offer.
Your instructor holds Training Center Instructor (TCI) certification — the Cirrus-specific teaching credential. Not just a CFI who happens to fly Cirrus, but an instructor trained in Cirrus methodology who are led and trained directly by CSIPs.
We have the aircraft, certifications, and instructors to complete every rating at one location — no need to switch schools as you advance.
Our Cirrus simulator lets you master G7 avionics and instrument procedures while building proficiency and confidence faster — at a fraction of the aircraft rate. Our FAA-approved G6 and G7 Cirrus simulators let you get comfortable with the avionics and instrument procedures prior to stepping into the airplane.
Train around your work and family schedule — not ours. Morning, evening, and weekend slots available. We match your pace, not a rigid course calendar.

“Lipson Aviation is hands down the place to go in SoCal for premium flight training. I’ve done Cirrus SR22T training here, got my MEI in the Beech Duchess, and even had jet training in the Citation Mustang with Ben himself. The aircraft are super well maintained — every issue gets taken care of right away. Ben’s logged over 10,000 hours and brings airline-level attention to detail to every flight. Can’t recommend Lipson enough.”
“We traveled from the east coast to purchase an SR22T and did our Cirrus Embark training with Lipson Aviation. Ben, John, and Wayne went above and beyond to make sure we had the knowledge to fly the airplane safely and gave excellent guidance on Cirrus ownership. Highly recommend for any Cirrus or Embark training.”
“After researching several SoCal flight schools, I chose Lipson Aviation for my private pilot certification — and it’s been fantastic. Cirrus aircraft in the fleet are rare to find at flight schools out here, and theirs are always well-maintained and reliable. The one-on-one instruction is patient, flexible, and genuinely invested in your progress. A standout choice for modern aircraft and top-tier instruction.”
