A Commercial Pilot License (CPL) is a certification that allows you to act as a pilot and be paid for your services. This is the next step after obtaining a Private Pilot License (PPL) and is required for anyone looking to work as a professional pilot, whether in charter flights, cargo, corporate aviation, or airlines.
Ground School Training
CPL ground school covers advanced theory in aviation topics, building on the foundational knowledge gained during PPL training. Subjects include:
Advanced Air Law and Regulations: In-depth knowledge of aviation law, international airspace regulations, and commercial flight rules.
Aircraft General Knowledge: Detailed study of aircraft systems, instruments, engines, and multi-engine aircraft systems.
Advanced Meteorology: Understanding complex weather patterns and their effects on flight, including aviation-specific weather forecasts.
Advanced Navigation: More complex navigation techniques, using instruments, GPS, and other modern navigation systems.
Flight Performance and Planning: Analysis of aircraft performance in different scenarios, advanced fuel planning, weight and balance calculations.
Human Factors: Psychological and physiological factors affecting pilots, especially in commercial aviation environments.
Radio Telephony: Advanced communication protocols with air traffic control (ATC), focusing on international flying and complex airspace.
Flight Training
CPL flight training is much more advanced than PPL, focusing on enhancing your flying skills and preparing you for commercial operations. Key components include:
Complex Aircraft Operations: Training on more sophisticated aircraft with features such as retractable landing gear, variable pitch propellers, and other advanced systems.
Multi-engine Training (if applicable): Learning to fly aircraft with more than one engine, which is crucial for airline operations.
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR): Training for flying solely with reference to instruments, which is necessary for flying in poor weather or low-visibility conditions.
Night Flying: Mandatory night flying lessons to ensure proficiency in low-light conditions.
Cross-Country Flying: Long-distance flights across multiple airfields, applying navigation and planning skills.
Emergency Procedures: Training to handle in-flight emergencies such as engine failure, forced landings, and system malfunctions.
Flight Hours
To qualify for a CPL, you must log a certain number of flight hours. The requirements may vary by country, but typically include:
Minimum total flight hours: 200 hours (varies by country)
Pilot-in-command (PIC) hours: Solo flying experience, often requiring at least 100 hours as PIC.
Cross-country flight hours: A significant portion of the total hours must involve cross-country flying.
Night flying: Around 5-10 hours of night flight, depending on the regulatory body.
