Become Commercial Pilot



A Commercial Pilot Licence or, in the United States, a Commercial Pilot Certificate, is a qualification that permits the holder to act as the pilot of an aircraft for remuneration.

A flight may be operated for money, only if it meets three criteria:

  • the pilot must hold a valid commercial pilot's license
  • the aircraft must hold a valid commercial registration
  • the operator must hold a certificate or some other authorization for commercial operations
A Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-issued pilot certificate is evidence that an individual is duly authorized to exercise piloting privileges. The pilot certificate is one of several kinds of airman certificates issued by FAA.

According to the Air Line Pilots Association, USA, commercial pilot certification costs around $30,000, and it involves 11 certifications/ratings, while entry-level pilots can expect to start from earning approximately $28,000 a year, but after 10 years commercial pilot's salary might reach six figures. Commercial pilots retirement threshold is at the age 60.

So, if you are are in excellent physical form and fancy you have been born to fly, don't delay with starting saving so you could consider a career as commercial airline pilot.

Anyone experience anything about the easy google profit kit? I discovered a lot of advertisements around it. I also found a site that is supposedly a review of the program, but the whole thing seems kind of sketchy to me. However, the cost is low so I’m going to go ahead and try it out, unless any of you have experience with this system first hand?
