Commercial Pilot Certificate Training Course
The commercial pilot certificate is required if you intend to
earn money as a pilot. Many individuals, with no intent of
ever flying for hire, earn their commercial pilot certificate as
a badge of honor and in order to show their level of proficiency
and skill as a pilot. Becoming a commercial pilot does have
advantages.
We conduct commercial pilot training under the requirements of
FAA Part 61. The hour requirements shown below assume that
you have accumulated 100 hours of flying time while getting your
private pilot certificate and instrument rating. The instrument
rating for all practical purposes is a prerequisite for the commercial
pilot certificate. Also, if you plan to get a multi-engine
rating, consider earning your initial commercial pilot certificate
in a multi-engine airplane. Please call us to discuss your
goals and let us help structure a training program that will meet
your goals while minimizing cost.
