Recurrent PA46 Pilot Training
Recurrent training is designed to review your safety and comfort level in the Piper Matrix, Malibu, Mirage, Meridian, M350, M500 or M600 aircraft and bring you to the next level, regardless of your previous experience. You and I will design a challenging performance-based curriculum from the initial training program syllabus.
The recurrent training program is also FAA/Industry Training Standards (FITS) accepted and approved by the FAA as a Wings Educational Seminar. We will concentrate on the areas that have the most value to you, based on the type and quantity of flying that you do, including emergency and abnormal operations, emergency escape procedures, aeronautical decision making (ADM) and single-pilot resource management (SRM). It presumes you are rated and current for instrument flight, have completed approved initial training and have read and understand the AFM.
The training includes up to 14 hours of flight and ground training over a two-day period. Completion standards are in accordance with FAA practical test standards for the rating held. Upon successful completion, you will receive a Certificate of Completion and endorsements for the biannual flight review and instrument proficiency check. One-day programs are available for qualified pilots who have received approved training within the last six months. I encourage all participants to consider training at least every six months. Those willing to train twice per year are eligible for a one-day (up to seven hours) six-month review, which is primarily evaluation.
The following materials are provided with the recurrent training program:

The following materials are provided with the recurrent training program:
- A copy of the RWR Pilot Training PA46 Standard Operating Procedures
- A copy of the pilot information manual (PIM) for your aircraft
- Access to the PA46 Pilot Reference Library
Completions Standards
Completions standards are in accordance with FAA practical test standards for the rating held, usually private-instrument. Alternatively, I can train you to ATP standards. This level of proficiency will make you a safer, more confident pilot. Upon successful completion, you will receive a certificate of completion and endorsements for biannual flight review, instrument proficiency check, and high altitude operation (where applicable). If standards are not met in the time allotted, we will formulate a strategy for getting you to the required level of proficiency and develop a supplemental training schedule that is likely to be successful for you. If you perform to ATP standards during the training and you agree to adopt the PA46 standard operating procedures, you qualify for and will receive the PA46 ProCard. This card will document your high level of pilot knowledge and skill, and it may entitle you to discounts on your aviation insurance.

Group Rates and Destination Training
Want to go somewhere new? Planning to attend an aviation convention or fly-in this year? Have you always wanted to combine your flight training requirement with something else you enjoy as well? Consider destination training. You can get your training on a trip to/from Europe. You can invite some other PA46 Pilot pilots to join you on a group trip around the US, Canada or Europe. I can provide group rates to groups of 4 or more pilots anywhere in the world. Here are some examples of photographs you could be taking:
Excellent training doesn't take any longer or cost any more. Here are ten things you should consider before choosing your PA46 training and related service provider.
"I first met Dick Rochfort in 2010, having just purchased a Piper PA46 Meridian. Dick came very highly recommended for my training from a number of sources. .. I learned the things that were different from the Zivko Edge 540 aircraft I have been flying in the RED BULL Air Races. ... I train with Dick Rochfort every year and I always learn something new."
