SF50 Flight Support exists for one airplane: the Cirrus Vision Jet. Founded by Don Medine — a Vision Jet owner and professional captain — we provide the pilots, mentoring, training and operational backup that owners actually use, at a fraction of the cost of a traditional flight department.
Whether you need a type-rated PIC for next week, a mentor in the right seat after type rating, a ferry to the service center, or an independent advocate during acquisition, the work is the same: safe, consistent SF50 operations with clear communication.
Choose the service you need today. Every offering is built around the SF50 — systems, procedures, insurance realities and owner-pilot life — not a generic light-jet playbook.
Type-experienced Vision Jet captains for Part 91 missions, supplemental flying, and coverage when your primary pilot is unavailable. We come to you — nationwide from Nashville.
Supervised Operating Experience after type rating — the difference between being legal and being ready. Fly with a specialist who already knows the aircraft, the gotchas, and the owner-pilot workflow.
Personalized SF50 transition support so you arrive at type rating prepared — and stay sharp afterward with jet-readiness courses, procedures and video-backed coaching.
Move the airplane when you cannot. Factory pick-up, maintenance flights, upgrades, and domestic or international repositioning with insured, Vision Jet–only ferry pilots.
Your virtual Vision Jet flight department for a single trip or a season: weather, performance, go/no-go, FBO coordination, and systems oversight without hiring a full staff.
Day-to-day ownership made lighter: scheduling, maintenance tracking, discrepancy follow-through, and a single trusted voice representing you with shops, insurance and vendors.
Independent, owner-first advice for buying, selling or operating a Vision Jet. We are not brokers — our job is to protect your interests from the first look through closing and beyond.
Increase utilization of an owned jet, or gain access without buying. Dry-lease consulting, shared access and management options built around the SF50 market we live in every day.
Stay current, fly with a mentor after type rating, or keep a trusted backup PIC on call when work, weather or currency gets in the way.
A professional captain who treats your aircraft like their own — clear communication, conservative decisions, and zero sales pressure.
Need SF50 access, a qualified crew, or help standing up a small operation? We match the support to the mission instead of selling a package.
You do not need a long onboarding. Tell us what the airplane and the calendar need, and we put the right SF50 specialist on it — then stay available after the wheels are down.
Share dates, tail number, airports and what you need — a PIC, a mentor, a ferry, or ongoing support. A short call or the reservation form is enough to start.
You work with SF50-only professionals. Nashville-based and easy to deploy, with vetted partners when the trip is far from home.
Most work happens in your jet, at your airport. Remote coaching and planning are available when a visit is not required.
The relationship does not end after one trip. Call or text for the next flight, a maintenance reposition, or the next ownership question.

Yes. SF50 Flight Support is based in Nashville and routinely deploys to owners across the United States. We also work with vetted remote partners when that is the better fit.
Professional flying, mentoring and ferry work are performed by factory-trained, type-experienced SF50 pilots. This is not a mixed-fleet operation — the Vision Jet is the focus.
That is one of the most requested services. Mentor-pilot and SOE flying in your airplane builds real-world judgment that the type course cannot fully replace.
Non-pilot owners use us as PIC, trip support and an independent advocate with maintenance, insurance and vendors. You get a professional operation without standing up a full flight department.
No. Completing a reservation request is not a contract. It simply lets us start planning. You can also call or text to talk it through first.
From the moment I engaged with Don, I was impressed by their unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. Their attention to detail was evident in every interaction. The training program surpassed all expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend SF50 Flight Support to anyone seeking top-tier aviation services.– Aaron C, Vision Jet Pilot (Texas, USA)
