Through the Sonex T-Flight Transition Training Program, students have the opportunity to experience training at the Sonex Aircraft, LLC factory in Oshkosh, WI. Ground and flight instruction (dual instruction only) is available in the Sonex factory prototype aircraft that are most appropriate to students’ needs, given by Sonex Aircraft’s own Certified Flight Instructors. Per FAA LODA requirements, the training is for aircraft familiarization and transition purposes only. Student applicants must already hold a pilot certificate with appropriate category and class rating, as well as any required endorsements. 

Sonex has created a comfortable pilot lounge & training environment within the Sonex Aircraft, LLC factory headquarters campus so that students may familiarize themselves with Sonex Aircraft flight handling and procedures via ground instruction and dual instruction flights from the runways of the historic Wittman Regional Airport. Training is offered in packages that include Basic Aircraft Familiarization, as well as packages created to suit the two most common training requirement standards set-forth by homebuilt aircraft insurance underwriters. Group discounts are offered on ground instruction rates for groups of two students or more. For full details, package pricing, and registration information.

"In addition to our transition training packages here at Sonex, students can further take advantage of the Oshkosh area as a landmark destination for pilots," says Jeremy Monnett. "In addition to experiencing the world-class EAA AirVenture Museum, pilots can also pursue training from other local flight schools as-needed, including pursuit of a tailwheel endorsement."  

For those wishing to experience flight in a Sonex Aircraft who are not certificated pilots with appropriate ratings and endorsements, Sonex recommends flying with other Sonex Aircraft Customers. Sonex pilots can be found via the searchable Sonex Builder Database. There are also several Sonex Builders’ Events held throughout the year, at which Sonex Aircraft rides are commonly given, and can be found using the Sonex Builders' Events Calendar.
