Class Rating CessnaSET

Expand your capabilities – Expand your potential

To acquire the CessnaSET (Single Engine Turbine) class rating, the training has to be conducted at an ATO including a final examination. Itzehoer Air Service GmbH is an approved training organization (ATO DE.SH.ATO.020) and a perfect partner to acquire the CR .

CessnaSET (land) includes the Cessna series 206/207 Soloy, 206 P&W, 210 Silver Eagle and the Cessna Caravan 208 / 208B according to the EASA Type Ratings and License Endorsement List. This rating can be earned through our ATO on our Cessna 208 Caravan (or Cessna 208 B).

Our instructors have extensive experience in our operations which includes freight, passenger, skydiving operations and special missions such as photo flights. To support your training our base with includes a pilot lounge (with kitchen) and a crew rest room your training provides you with a supportive and relaxing atmosphere.

Our training aircraft Cessna Caravan 208 D-FUNK is available as part of our EASA.FCL approved training program. On request the training can be conducted on our D-FUNC, a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX equipped with state of the art avionic Garmin G1000 NXI.

Our homebase, airfield Itzehoe EDHF in the northern part of Germany between North- and Baltic Sea, is a perfect location for the SET training. Short taxiways and low flight frequency provide an attractive environment, although close to IFR airfields such as Lübeck (EDHL), Kiel (EDHF) or Hamburg (EDDH) IFR training is easily conducted as well.

Right after completion of the training the examination will take place at our Base through a local CRE (A). The examination flight will be according to the training under VFR or IFR conditions on our training aircraft.
