Commercial Pilot

A Commercial Pilot’s License represents the level of piloting expertise for a pilot who intends to “fly for hire." The expectations for knowledge and skill include a Commercial Pilot level of knowledge, advanced maneuvers with an emphasis on coordination and precision, and the skills to operate a complex airplane.

A Pilot who intends to fly professionally will seek the CPL as a requirement to practice the profession. A business or recreational flyer will seek the CPL for a higher level of safety and proficiency as well as lower insurance rates, especially in complex airplanes.

Galvin typically trains professional pilot aspirants for the Commercial License to take the practical test in a twin engine airplane, combining complex and multiengine skills to benefit the customer. The single engine Commercial check is then taken as an “add on."

Business or recreational pilots training for the CPL may choose to train in the twin, or the A36 Bonanza where both High Performance and Complex endorsements are earned in addition to the Commercial requirements.
