The Commercial Pilot Certificate is the qualification that enables pilots to fly for hire; it is also a requirement toward earning the Flight Instructor Certificate. The major content of this course is developing proficiency in the required commercial flight maneuvers and demonstrating mastery of the airplane. Applicants should plan on 10 to 15 hours of flight training and 5 to 10 hours of ground instruction.
Applicants can expect to invest between $19,000 to $23,000, if the applicant has no logged flight time prior to the program.
