Frequently Asked Questions?
What if I don't meet all the prerequisites needed to start the commercial pilot course?
You can start a Commercial Pilot course with none, some or all of the prerequisites. Having the prerequisites completed prior to coming helps accelerate your flight
training; however, these are flights that may be combined with some of the included training. Any prerequisite not met
only means that additional flight training and/or time building is required at additional costs.
Can I still complete a commercial pilot course without an instrument rating?
Yes. However, per part 61.133(b)(1), a person who applies for a commercial pilot certificate and does not hold an instrument rating
in the same category and class will be issued a commercial pilot certificate that contains the limitations:
"The carriage of passengers for hire in (airplanes) on cross-country flights in excess of 50 nautical miles or at night is prohibited."
The limitation is removed once the pilot accomplishes his/her instrument rating.
I started a Commercial Pilot course at another flight school, can I continue my training with Flyright Aviation?
Yes. We will review your previous flight training and experience, and design a course outline that will allow you to
complete your commercial pilot certificate.
I already have my private pilot certificate with a multi-engine class, do I have to do a commercial pilot single-engine before getting a
commercial pilot multi-engine certificate?
No. If you have a private pilot certificate with a multi-engine class and wish to accomplish a commercial pilot multi-engine certificate,
you may do so. Please give us a call so that we may design a course outline that will best suit your aviation goals.
