The FAA Commercial Pilot License is a qualification that permits the holder to act as the pilot of an aircraft for remuneration and act as co-pilot (First Officer) in commercial air transportation, as pilot-in-command, co-pilot of any airplane engaged in operations other than commercial air transportation or as pilot-in-command in commercial air transportation of any single-pilot airplane. The Commercial Pilot License training is usually one of the last steps in becoming a professional pilot.
The ground and Flight training are combined during the whole preparation in obtaining the Commercial Pilot License.
The theoretical part of the training can be done online from the comfort of your home prior to the practical training.
The Ground Training is divided into 3 stages. During the ground school training, the student will have 3 exams, one for each stage.
The Flight Training will take place in the single-engine aircraft and in a single-engine complex aircraft.
In order to obtain a Commercial Pilot License, the pilot must complete a minimum of 55 hours of dual flight under Part 141 and a minimum of 20 hours dual flight under Part 61.
This training will also be divided into 3 stages and will have 3 stage flight tests. The student will obtain the necessary aeronautical skill and experience necessary to meet the requirements for a Commercial Pilot License.
The final aeronautical knowledge and practical test is the checkride. It will be taken at the end of all the training and consist of an oral and practical exam. Once the student passes this exam, he/she will obtain the Commercial Pilot License.
Towards the end of the course, you will have to demonstrate a sufficient level of theoretical knowledge at an FAA approved testing center in the form of a written test. To pass the commercial pilot written examination you need to achieve a score of at least 70%, which is still a passing score. This test must be done before the Check Ride.
