Stepping up to the Commercial Certificate is often the next step after achieving instrument rating for aviation career bound pilots or for pilots who just want the challenge of continuing to improve their skills.

The commercial pilot certificate allows a pilot to operate for hire under certain conditions and is a prerequisite for receiving a flight instructor certificate.

A commercial pilot applicant must have a minimum of 250 hours of total flight time and must demonstrate a mastery of complex aircraft and systems. Classic Aviation has a history of graduating quality commercial pilot applicants.
