Arizona Type Ratings
Cessna Citation jet type ratings for pilots who already hold a commercial certificate. Not a starting point — listed so you know it is not one.
Arizona Type Ratings is a specialty training provider at Scottsdale Airport, focused on Cessna Citation type ratings (the 500, 510 and 525 series) for pilots who already hold a commercial certificate. It has operated in this niche for more than thirty years.
We list it for completeness and honesty, not because it is a place to start. If you are searching for how to begin flying — a Private Pilot certificate, a discovery flight, your first hours in an airplane — this is not that business, and calling them looking for beginner instruction would waste your time and theirs. It exists for the other end of a career: pilots stepping up into a jet who need the specific FAA type-rating credential that aircraft requires.

Public reviews: Birdeye shows 15 reviews (checked July 2026). We show that as plain text rather than dressing it up as our own rating, because we did not collect it and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
What it is good at
- A genuine, narrow specialty — Citation type ratings — held for over three decades, which is a real depth of expertise in a specific niche.
- A meaningfully sized positive review base for a specialty business of this kind.
- Serves working commercial and corporate pilots directly, rather than trying to be a general-purpose flight school.
What to go in knowing
- Not a starting point for a new student — no Private Pilot or discovery-flight training here.
- A commercial certificate is a prerequisite before this training is relevant to you at all.
- Pricing for jet type-rating training runs far above single-engine primary training; confirm current cost directly if this is genuinely your next step.
Arizona Type Ratings is not currently a partner school, so there is no booking button here — just their own number and their own website, unchanged. We list every Arizona school we can verify, partner or not. Are you this school? Here is what partnering looks like.
