Commercial
Pilot Certificate Course
145 clock hours (115 flight, 30 ground)
Completion Time: 11 weeks
Course Objectives
This course is designed for a student
who already holds a Private Pilot
Certificate. During the course he
or she will acquire the skills and
knowledge required to successfully
complete the Commercial Pilot practical
test administered by the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA).
The
Commercial Pilot Certificate allows
its holder to operate an aircraft
for compensation or hire. It is a prerequisite
for enrollment in the Flight Instructor
Certificate Course.
Course
Description
During the flight component of the
course, the student will learn to
perform advanced maneuvers, including
pinnacle and confined area operations,
to a high degree of skill. Emphasis
will be placed on operating safely
and competently in the off-airport
environment. The student will receive
advanced training in emergency procedures,
with extensive practice in 180-degree
autorotations and power-limited landing
situations.
During the ground
component of the training, the student
will acquire the knowledge required
to operate safely as a Commercial
Pilot within the guidelines of the Federal
Aviation Regulations. He or she will
examine the privileges and limitations
of a Commercial Pilot, considerations
of operating “for
hire,” and elements of cockpit
resource management. He or she will also
gain a more extensive understanding of
topics studied during Private Pilot training.
The course includes three stages
as outlined in Quantum Helicopters’ Commercial
Pilot Certificate Course Syllabus.
Each stage must be completed successfully
before the student may proceed to
the next stage. Successful completion
is determined by oral evaluation,
written testing and a flight skills
evaluation, administered by the Chief
Flight Instructor, Assistant Chief
Flight Instructor or a check pilot.
Upon successful completion of the
final stage, the student will be
considered eligible for the Commercial
Pilot FAA practical test.
