Commercial Pilot Course
Island Flying Adventure Course
The Commercial Pilot rating allows you to operate an aircraft for compensation or hire. Commercial Pilot training involves learning to fly your aircraft more smoothly and precisely. You will also be improving your cross-country flying skills as the training requires several long distance trips during the day and night. You will be stretching your abilities and building the basis of your future as a professional pilot.
If you are a business or recreational pilot, you may be interested in the Commercial Rating to increase your level of proficiency as well as lower your insurance rates, especially for complex aircraft.
