Transition Training
The lack of transition training has been cited as a causal factor in many general aviation accidents. Although pilots think of transition training as necessary when stepping up to a high performance or complex airplane; or from single-engine to multi-engine; or from tricycle gear to tail wheel, it is also beneficial to pilots who are moving from traditional aircraft to amateur built or light sport flying machines.
