Tri-Cities’ Cirrus Training Center.
High-quality instructors who aren’t leaving for the airlines.
Evening cloud “A brand-new Cirrus over a 50-year-old Cessna.”
Our story
Aviation New Generation is bringing a Cirrus-branded training, maintenance, aircraft management and leasing center to Tri-Cities Airport (KTRI).
Operating as an independent, approved Cirrus Training Center, ANG serves East Tennessee, Southwest Virginia and Western North Carolina, a natural extension of Cirrus’s Knoxville campus into the Tri-Cities region.
We built the school around instructors who stay: people who actually enjoy teaching and are not building hours on their way to the airlines. You train in a brand-new Cirrus rather than a 50-year-old trainer, and your checkride is with our own in-house examiner.
The fleet is growing fast. A second SR22T is being acquired now, two factory-new G7+ SR20s arrive in Q4 2026, a Vision Jet joins in 2027, and another SR22T holds a spot in the 2027 production queue. We have secured FBO office space for training, with hangar capacity for up to 20 Cirrus aircraft.
Why train here
-
The parachute is standard.
Every Cirrus ever built carries CAPS, a parachute for the whole airplane. One handle, and the airplane comes down under canopy with everyone in it. That is the first thing a spouse asks about, and the first thing we answer.
-
Built around a working life.
Lessons are scheduled around your business, not ours. Two lessons a week gets most owner-pilots to the private certificate in three to four months.
-
Instructors who stay.
Our instructors teach because they enjoy teaching, not to build hours on their way to the airlines, and your checkride is with our own in-house examiner.
-
The school you keep after you buy.
When the day comes, we fly the Cirrus transition with you, and there is hangar space for your airplane at Tri-Cities Airport, with lease-back if you want it to fly while you don’t.
The smoothest air of the day is at dawn.
Calm, stable, and empty of traffic. It is why the first lesson on the schedule is so often the one you remember.
