Commercial Pilot Certificate

The FAA has very stringent rules on what defines receiving compensation. Someone else paying for fuel or exceeding their pro-rata portion of flight expenses could easily cause you to violate what is allowed with private pilot privileges. As a commercial pilot, you will demonstrate to the FAA that you exhibit a mastery of aircraft handling and thereby have new privileges afforded to you to receive payment or compensation.

Here are the criteria to be eligible for a commercial pilot certificate. The FAA details them in CFR 61.129. Here are some regs listed below.

Private Pilot Certificate & Instrument Rating
Age: 18 Years

Private Pilot Certificate and Requirements

Whether you’ve always wanted to become a pilot, fly with your family, friends or you want to make a career in aviation, the first step in everyone’s aviation journey is to earn their private pilot certificate.

A Private Pilot’s Certificate allows you to fly day or night with passengers, in visual conditions (VFR).

There are over 19,700 airports in the United States, with approximately 5,193 designated as public use. This includes both commercial service airports and general aviation airports. The remaining airports are for private use, meaning they require prior approval for use.

Earning a private pilot certificate means that you can fly when you want and won’t have to deal with your local busy airport and TSA/ airlines. Giving you the convenience of when you need to get there quickly.

The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) establishes the criteria to obtain a Private Pilot Certificate.

Those requirements are spelled out in detail in CFR §61.102-120. These are the minimums listed below from the FAA.

The national average for students to complete their private pilot training is around 60-70 hours total flight time.

There is no minimum age to start flying lessons and these ages apply to solo flight and license eligibility.

• Age: 17 Years (16 to Fly Solo)
• Total Flight Time: 40 Hours
• Instruction Flight Time: 20 Hours
• Solo Flight Time: 10 Hours
• Third-Class FAA Medical Certificate
• FAA Written Test
• FAA Practical Test (Checkride)
• Speak and Write English Fluently

So, you want to get paid to fly an airplane?!

Whether you desire to make a career in aviation, or simply fly for hire on occasion, upgrading from your private pilot certificate will make this a reality.
