Commercial Pilot Training
The Commercial Pilot Certificate is a qualification that permits you to act as pilot-in-command of an aircraft for compensation or hire. If you are seeking a career in aviation, the Commercial Pilot Certificate is a prerequisite for working in the industry. During this course you will also receive your High Performance & Complex endorsements to operate these aircraft as pilot in command.
The FAA requires a minimum age of 18 years and the ability to obtain an FAA Second Class Medical.
To supplement ground training and written test prep, we utilize our modern distance learning system – Sporty’s complete online Commercial Course. For ground and flight training, we use our own published Training Course Outline (TCO) to structure each training course. We offer Commercial training in both 141 and 61 formats.
Estimated course time and associated costs are below. Training times to obtain the required proficiency may vary and are greatly affected by the consistency of training. Remember, you do not have to pay this amount up front; it is spread out over the length of your training.
*The following course outline is designed for a pilot transitioning from obtaining their Private/Instrument Certificates. If you have additional flight hours above these Certificates, your course times will vary. Please contact us for a customized quote for your Commercial Certificate.
