If you’re considering a career as a commercial airline pilot, our tailored commercial flight training course can help you achieve your goal. With our highly experienced commercial flying Instructors and our renowned professional yet friendly approach we aim to make your commercial pilot licence (CPL) course an enjoyable and successful experience.

The commercial pilots licence course comprises of 25 hours of flying to cover a period of 3 weeks, weather dependant. The initial 15 hours is completed in a Piper PA28 aircraft with the final 10 hours being completed in a multi-engine aircraft. Gaining your CPL on a multi-engine aircraft is more desired by commercial airlines.

We offer a friendly and informal but thorough CPL course on either a 1 to 1 or 2 to 1 basis. The instructor is yours for the duration of the course, as are the PA28 and PA28R aircraft.  We will do our utmost to fit in with your time-scale and training needs, and will arrange the test date to suit. The course itself consists of a minimum of 25 hours dual instruction, 20 on the PA28 Warrior and 5 on the P28R Arrow to prepare the student for the CPL Skills Test which is taken on the PA28R Arrow.
