Official Cirrus Authorized Training Partner
A small team of pilots and aviation believers who decided that Romania deserves a flight training experience as good as the aircraft we fly.
Who We Are
Cirrus Aviation SRL exists because a few people who love flying asked themselves a simple question: what would the perfect training experience look like? Not the cheapest. Not the fastest. The one you would recommend to someone you care about.
That question became this company.

Not a school.
A starting point.
The Beginning
Why should learning to fly feel like a bureaucratic process? Why should the training aircraft feel dated, the facilities feel cold, the experience feel institutional? We believed there was a better way - so we built it.
The Aircraft
This was never a business decision dressed as passion. We fell in love with the SR Series, its safety philosophy, the cockpit, the way it makes you feel in the air. Therefore, we wanted every student to experience the same thing. When you train with us, you train on the aircraft we trust with our own families.
The Standard
Every briefing is prepared, not improvised. Every debrief is honest, not rushed. Every interaction, from the first email to the checkride handshake, is treated with the care you would expect from people who genuinely want you to succeed.
Your Place
You are someone who had the courage to imagine a different life and the determination to take the first step. That matters to us. And we will never forget it.
Start Your StoryWhat We Believe
01
Safety as freedom
We do not teach caution for its own sake. We teach safety because it unlocks confidence — and confidence is what makes a pilot want to fly again tomorrow.
02
Honesty over salesmanship
We will never tell you flying is easy. We will tell you it is worth it. Every conversation, every briefing, every progress update — straight, warm, and real.
03
People, not procedures
Checklists matter. SOPs matter. But the person in the left seat matters more. We adapt to your pace, your questions, and the way you learn.
04
Excellence without pretension
We fly the best aircraft in its class. We train to international standards. And we do it in an atmosphere where the first thing you feel is welcome.
The Team
Small enough to know your name. Experienced enough to earn your trust. Passionate enough to celebrate every milestone with you.

Why Cirrus
As an official Cirrus Authorized Training Partner in Romania, we choose the SR Series out of conviction. It represents everything we believe flight training should be: safe, modern, intuitive, and genuinely inspiring. Every hour you spend in our cockpit is an hour in the most advanced single-engine aircraft in the world.
The Atmosphere
Walk into our hangar and the first thing you notice is the atmosphere. Coffee before the briefing. Laughter after the debrief. Questions that are encouraged, progress that is celebrated, and a genuine belief that every person who walks through the door has a pilot inside them.
First-name culture
No ranks, no formality, no distance. We are a team — and you are part of it from day one.
Flexible scheduling
Your training adapts to your life, not the other way around. Mornings, afternoons, weekends — we find what works.
International welcome
Students from across Europe and beyond. All instruction in English. We help with accommodation, logistics, and making Bucharest feel like home.
“We did not build this for people who want to check a box. We built it for people who want to feel something they have never felt before.”
