Commercial Pilot

The COMMERCIAL PILOT LICENSE is also offered as a portion of our Professional Pilot Program, or is an allowed add-on to any currently certified private pilot.

Phase I (Private Pilot)

Read more about our Private Pilot Program. This is usually the first part of your commercial training. You may go straight to Commercial Pilot, but most students prefer to attain their Private Pilot certificate first. The Commercial Pilot requires 150 hours total time (without any previous licenses), so if you obtain your Private Pilot, you may carry passengers as you build hours toward you Commercial certificate.

Phase II (Commercial Training)

As you attain your required hours, your training and solo time will be used together. During this phase, you will train to stricter commercial standards. More flying will be accomplished within the Class B airspace of Boston, which is the most congested airspace in New England. Many commercial helicopter jobs are within airspace such as this, and exposure early in your career has tremendous benefit.
