A Commercial Pilot Certificate is just like your Private Pilot License except it allows you to fly an airplane for compensation or hire. At this point your experience behind the yoke could begin paying for itself.
How long will it take to get my Commercial Pilot License?
Most people who dedicate themselves full-time to obtaining a commercial pilot’s license do so within a 2 week period. If you have a regular job and can only dedicate a few hours a week, then it may take about four(4) to six(6) weeks to accomplish it.
What kind of Aircraft will I train in?
Wayman Aviation currently offers a Cessna 177-RG Cardinal for students interested in obtaining their commercial pilot’s license. This is a “complex” aircraft with retractable landing gear, electrical flaps, and a variable-pitch propellor.
