Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL)
Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL)
The goal of the students is to obtain the Commercial Pilot Licence, which is required by most airlines. The only way to make a living from flying is to obtain a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL). While you can fly as a hobby or complete your full flight training with your PPL in hand, the CPL gives you the privileges of flying for pay. This covers everything from flight instruction and crop dusting to airline pilot level.
