FAQ

Commercial Pilot Questions

  • A Private Pilot Certificate and, in most cases, an Instrument Rating. You will also need 250 total hours by the time of your checkride. We can build a time-building plan alongside your commercial training.

  • No. The $6,545 starting estimate covers the commercial training itself. Aircraft rental for hours you still need to build toward 250 is additional.

  • Many students continue to their CFI and CFII so they can instruct and build time toward an airline or corporate career. Multi-engine training is also available. See the pricing page for estimates.
