Commercial Pilot Training – The next big step

A Private Pilot certificate is the first and foremost requirement in receiving your Commercial Pilot Certificate. Other requirements include passing a number of tests required by the CAAP which include Knowledge and Practical examinations as well as a flight test. Only after successful completion of the tests will the Commercial Pilot Certificate become awarded.

In becoming a Commercial Pilot, a person is required to get paid for every flight that will be executed. Freedom in your career as a Commercial Pilot is greatly exercised. You can become a Flight Instructor, Cargo Pilot or Charter Pilot. However, some recommendations are given for those who wish to use their full potential as Commercial Pilots. Instrument and Multi-Engine Ratings are both recommended in order to exercise full capabilities of becoming a Commercial Pilot.

Our experience in both Instrument and Multi-Engine Ratings is undaunted. The fact that we train pilots to learn these ratings is our statement in quality pilot training, allowing you to reach the most difficult places that you can ever imagine.
