Transition Training

[Sonex Foundation]

As part of our follow up to Oshkosh Airventure 2014, we wanted to once again get back to part of our core initiative of helping all Sonex/Waiex/Xenos/Onex builders, owners, and those who purchase one of these aircraft transition to the type in a safe manner.

This is especially important for new owners of previously built aircraft.

We co-authored a transition training document with Sonex Aircraft LLC that is intended to provide a syllabus for those looking to learn how to fly these aircraft. One key focus of experimental aviation safety initiatives is to learn how each type differs from aircraft you may already have experience in.

The link to this document is below.

In addition, we continue to actively pursue additional Letter of Deviation Authority (LODA) holders to provide this transition training. To date, we are only aware of three LODA issuances for the type.

If you are a CFI or Sport Pilot instructor who is looking to obtain a LODA, please see the following:

Blue skies and hope to see you in Crossville!
