PILOT LICENSE

| Commercial Pilot License

This is the licence you need if you want to earn money as a pilot. Our instructor team is here to help you decide which career path to choose: Whilst some wish to become an airline pilot there are plenty of other opportunities such as industrial and agricultural operations or becoming a flight instructor! Once you have accumulated enough hours and honed your pilot skills you might even join Rescue Operations. 

Learn2fly offers training under Part 141 so you will achieve 100 hours instruction and 100 hours of pilot in command time.  We aim to produce job ready pilots so depending on your planned career path, we will customise your training to suit you.  We are experienced charter operators so we know what your chief pilot is looking for in your logbook and CV.  We don’t aim to give you the cheapest license, our goal is to help you get a job.  We will work with you to maximise the value of your training hours including your PIC time to ensure you are job ready.

Our commitment to you?

  • Full-time availability. 
  • Highly skilled instructors with up to 2,000 hours on all our aircraft models. Because safety ALWAYS comes first!

What’s involved?

We have two pathways here at Learn2Fly to get your Commercial Pilots License.

 

Full-Time CPL
Pathway One

Where you are in the school every day immersed in aviation working hard to achieve your CPL and Multi engine Instrument rating in as little as 15 months.  This program takes you from never having flown at all to a job ready, fully trained commercial pilot.  The course will give you the aircraft types, experience and attitudes that will help secure you that all important first job. 

Part-Time CPL
Pathway Two

Already have a job, family or other commitments but are still dreaming of the skies? Then our Part-Time pathway is for you. This flexible training model allows you to book lessons and train around your life with tailored training that works for you. We are flexible and operate 7 days a week so we can build a training platform around you and your life.

 

Both pathways will complete our RPC program, Navigation endorsement, Controlled Airspace and MPPC endorsement then build your command hours.  We will complete your retractable undercarriage endorsement along the way plus any other skills you need for your desired first job.  We will guide you through the process every step of the way.  Your success is our success.

Multi Fleet Comp

 

So how does getting a Commercial Pilots License actually work?

You will need a total of 100 hours as Pilot In Command to get your CPL but you can include any solo hours flown when you first started your circuit training!

Learn2Fly’s CPL courses aim to let you conduct additional qualification courses to increase your chances of getting hired by a potential employer. We will work with you to help you decide what those are then deliver them.  Remember, job ready is our focus!! You won’t be getting into an airliner as your first job so let us give you the skills you really need in that all important first step of your career.

Theory

You will also need to pass 7 CPL exams before you can get your CPL licence issued – you can build your flying hours simultaneously though, don’t worry.

These are the subjects needed for your CPL-Theory:

  • CPL Navigation (CNAV)
  • CPL Meteorology (CMET)
  • CPL Human Factors (CHUF)
  • CPL Air Law (CLWA)
  • CPL Aerodynamics (CADA)
  • CPL Aircraft General Knowledge (CSYA)
  • CPL Operation, Performance & Flight Planning (CFPA)

The pass mark for each subject is 70% (except Air Law which requires you to pass with 80%). From the date of your first exam you have 2 years to finish all subjects.

Our Full-Time pathway comes with classroom theory courses for these subjects and while our Part-Time course does not Learn2Fly periodically runs theory courses for all levels of flight training on demand. If you want classroom training, we have you covered. 

Once you have your full Commercial Pilot Licence you will have accumulated over 200 hours and be ready for your first job.  Our Full-Time students will then continue on with Multi Engine and Instrument ratings.
