CHAPTER 5
CE-525 SINGLE PILOT INITIAL ATP/TYPE RATING TRAINING
CORE CURRICULUM
1. INTRODUCTION
1. This course is designed to meet the requirements of FAR 61.31(a) and 61.63(d) for a
pilot to be recommended for an FAA ATP Type Rating Practical Test. It does not
meet the requirements of FAR 61.31(e) (f) and (g).

approach to enable the pilot to develop, and be able to demonstrate, the knowledge,
skills and competencies necessary to successfully complete the FAA Practical Test.
3. Completion of all ground training will be required prior to starting any flight training to
ensure a pilot has attained the knowledge necessary for conducting checklists,
operating the aircraft, and developing situational awareness, workload management
and error management competencies needed to for safe and efficient operations.
4. All instructors and evaluators providing ground or flight training, or evaluations under
this chapter must meet the requirements found in LOFT’s Manual 2, Chapter 1,
Section 1.1 or 1.3 as appropriate.
5. All instructors and evaluators providing ground or flight training, or evaluations under

3. CURRICULUM OVERVIEW
1. Curriculum Objective
1. A pilot will develop the knowledge, skills, attitudes and competencies necessary
for safe, efficient operations of a CE-525 aircraft without a pilot designated as
second-in-command (SIC) and to pass the FAA ATP/Type Rating Practical Test.
This course is designed to meet the requirements of FAR 61.31(a) and 61.63(d)
for a pilot to be recommended for an FAA ATP Type Rating Practical Test in the
Cessna CE-525 aircraft. It does not meet the requirements of FAR 61.31(e) (f)
and (g).
2. Description of Training
3. All training will be documented to enable the pilot to prove to a TCE and/or FAA
Examiner that the applicant has satisfactorily completed all training required to be
recommended for the Practical Test.
4. If the CE-525 simulator is available during ground training, the instructor may
take that opportunity to provide the pilot hands-on experience to learn the
subjects included in the ground segments. This is not a requirement for this
curriculum.
5. A failure to complete the FAA Practical Test will result in the pilot receiving
individual training on those subjects or maneuvers/procedures for which a
deficiency was noted. A pilot will not be required to complete any particular
module or segment in its entirety as a result of such an outcome.
3. Training Aids
1. The training aids listed in LOFT’s Policies and Procedures Manual, Chapter 2,
1.4.7 specific to the Citation CE-525 series aircraft may be incorporated in
ground and/or flight training segments in this curriculum.
4. Prerequisites
1. A pilot must have at least a Private Pilot Certificate with a Multi-Engine and an
Instrument Rating (must not be limited to centerline thrust). If an Airline Transport
Pilot Certificate is sought, the pilot must have completed and passed the ATP
written exam, the ATP CTP, hold a Commercial Pilot Certificate with a Multi-
Engine Instrument Rating and have accomplished all requirements of §61.153
and §61.159.
2. A pilot is expected to be current and proficient in flying skills and a review of the
pilot’s aeronautical experience should be completed for verification.
3. Only when all prerequisites have been verified will a pilot be enrolled in this
curriculum.
5. Completion Standards
3. A pilot must demonstrate, without any doubt on behalf of a LOFT instructor, that
he/she has adequately prepared for all segments of the FAA Practical Test for the
addition of a CE-525S Type Rating and the instructor is of the belief the pilot will
succeed on their first attempt.
1. Objective:
2. The pilot will be able to demonstrate knowledge of these subject areas as they
apply to situational scenarios and basic operational knowledge.

3. Description of Training
2. The instructor will involve the pilot in discussions, use scenarios to describe how
the information applies to aircraft operations, and apply question/answer
techniques to validate pilot understanding.
3. The instructor will ensure the presentations reflect the pilot’s experience and
knowledge and formulate relevant, understandable scenarios and questions.
4. Completion Standards
1. Satisfactory completion requires the pilot to pass a written exam with a minimum
grade of 80% (corrected to 100%) and during training demonstrate the ability to
interpret questions and respond in an appropriate, knowledgeable manner. If on
the first attempt a grade of 80% is not accomplished, the pilot may retake written
exam.
2. There is no maximum number of times a student may take a test to attain an
80% passing grade. However, after the third failed attempt, the DOT will
interview the student to determine the subsequent course of action.
