The Cessna Citation CE-560XL Type Rating Training Course at Florida Flight Center adds the CE-560XL Type Rating to a pilot’s certificate, authorizing them to act as pilot in command of the Citation Excel, XLS, or XLS+.

Training includes a comprehensive systems review, flight training, and exam preparation for the FAA oral and practical test. All instruction is conducted in your aircraft, tailored to your specific avionics and operational setup.

You may choose to train at one of our centers or at your home base, using your own aircraft. This ensures you gain full proficiency in your unique configuration, while benefiting from the real-world experience of our instructors, who actively fly the aircraft.

The CE-560XL Type Rating requires a checkride with an FAA Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE). Florida Flight Center coordinates this process to ensure a smooth experience.
