Supervised Operating Experience and Mentor Pilot Selection
Congratulations, job well done!! You prepared for and completed your Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet type rating… Now what?
Most pilots obtaining a Vision Jet type rating will receive a temporary airman certificate showing the addition of the SF50 type rating, with a Pilot-in-Command limitation. What does this mean?
This means you must complete Supervised Operating Experience to act as pilot in command of a Vision Jet. Supervised Operating Experience, also known as SOE, is a phase where a newly type rated pilot will fly with a qualified mentor pilot for a minimum of twenty-five hours to have the pilot in command limitation removed from their airman certificate.
SF50 Flight Support Services has a developed SOE program, which consists of three critical pillars. These are competency in every phase of flight, ownership information, and jet operational procedures. Contact us to arrange your SOE by calling (615) 843-8553 or through our contact form.

Moreover, their training program surpassed all expectations, reflecting their dedication to excellence in every aspect of their operations. I wholeheartedly recommend sf50flightsupport to anyone seeking top-tier aviation services. Thank you for an outstanding experience!

Is SOE training?
While coaching and guidance can occur during SOE, the goal is to make the pilot competent in all phases of flight, preflight planning, and aeronautical decision making (ADM). This is why the FAA permits SOE to be conducted with qualified mentor pilots. Of course, the more qualified the mentor pilot, the better the guidance and evaluation you receive. Nonetheless, the mentor pilot does not need to be an instructor.
In addition, experienced mentor pilots know how to create flight scenarios that will leave you with great experiences and prepared for single pilot operations.
