Commercial Pilot Training
A commercial pilot certificate is an advanced license that can be added onto an existing private pilot certificate. Having a commercial pilot certificate will allow a pilot to be compensated for flying. If you’re interested in becoming a commercial pilot, don’t be intimidated by thoughts of airline pilot training. Commercial pilot training is conduced in the same aircraft you earned your private pilot license. The focus of commercial pilot training is advanced understanding of the flight environment, aircraft systems, and aircraft control.
