Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL-A)

Overview

The commercial license is the first license that allows you to work as a pilot in Canada. To get the license, students need a total of at least 200 hours of flying experience, including the hours flown in acquiring previous licenses and ratings. With a commercial license in your pocket and a few more hours of experience, you are ready to move on to the Airline Transport Pilots License (ATPL), which will allow you to work as an airline pilot.

Most Career Track pilots choose to combine the Night, Multi-Engine and Instrument Ratings with the Commercial training, so when you reach 200 hours you can be ready to start your first flying job. Below is what the commercial training would look like.

You may take Ground School Monday and Wednesday evenings at  19:00. New sessions begin every 12 weeks running all year round. There is also the possibility of doing the ground school privately. Contact us for more information.
