COMMERCIAL PILOT LICENCE

The Commercial Pilot Licence builds on the knowledge you have learned in your Private Pilot training, and allows you to fly for hire or reward (pay) while you work as a pilot. The Commercial Pilot Licence is also a prerequisite of the Flight Instructor Rating.

Our self-paced Commercial Pilot Licence program allows you to attend our evening ground school classes and you can fit the flight and simulator training to your own schedule.

Our Commercial Aviation Diploma program combines the CPL, Multi, IFR and prepares you for additional exams required by larger air operations.

SCHEDULE

You can start at any time as evening ground school runs in continuous rotations. Even if you have completed your licence, you can still attend ground school classes for up to a year to refresh your skills. The classes are small in size, maximizing instruction and time spent with each student.

PRIVILEGES

The basic Commercial Pilot Licence is valid for flight in single engine aircraft during day, night, VFR and VFR-Over the Top conditions. You can take as many people as the aircraft can safely hold. A Multi-Engine Rating, Seaplane Rating and Instrument Rating can all be added to a Commercial Licence.
