C750 (Citation X) Type Rating

The C750 Citation X Type Rating course is developed for pilots seeking qualification on a high-performance business jet renowned for its speed, technology, and operational capability. The programme is structured to provide a thorough understanding of the aircraft while preparing crews for the fast-paced environment of executive and international corporate aviation.

Throughout the training, pilots are introduced to the aircraft’s sophisticated avionics architecture, advanced flight guidance systems, and high-altitude operational profile. Particular attention is given to workload management, operational precision, and efficient aircraft handling across all phases of flight.
