Have completed the theoretical examinations
One of the most important aspects of the Commercial Pilot Licence is the completion of commercial ground subjects and examinations. Many students progress quite fast through all the flying steps but do not realize the amount of work required to complete the ground school portion of the commercial licence. The following subjects have to be passed:
Aero Medicine
Aviation Meteorology
Aircraft Technical and General
Radio Aids
Instruments
Navigation General
Air Law and Procedures
Navigation
Plotting
Flight Planning
Ground school usually lasts about nine weeks and the cost includes lectures and study notes.
Once you have completed the ground phase you can commence with the hour building phase. At LFC we structure it in such a manner that you benefit to the maximum extent. This maximises the experience you gain in this time, rather than just flying on an ad-hoc basis and in effect achieving very little.
Once you have completed your hour building you will progress towards your final preparation for the instrument rating.
The final phase of preparation for the Commercial Pilot Licence will be done on a variable pitch, retractable gear aircraft. Now you need to choose whether you going to take the single engine route or the multi engine route? The choice is entirely up to you.
