Commercial License
In seeking your Commercial License you are preparing for an incredible accomplishment and career, and that means you’ll want to be absolutely certain that FL Aviation Center will set you up for success.
​
You'll need your private and potentially your instrument rating before earning your Commercial License. You’ll feel relieved to know that we have a Professional Program that includes all of these licenses for your convenience.
​
The Commercial Pilot’s License continues to build on your skills and refine your professionalism in the air. You will learn more advanced maneuvers, face more complex flight planning scenarios, as well as upgrade to our technically advanced aircraft. While this rating requires 250 hours of total time, you can accomplish up to 50 hours of this time in our Redbird full motion flight simulator, which helps to keep the cost of this rating as low as possible.
​
Once you have obtained your commercial license, the sky’s the limit! You might carry skydivers, tow gliders, work a pipeline patrol, fly for a corporate or charter operator, give scenic tours, monitor environmental situations, do aerial photography, continue to a career in law enforcement, or any other of dozens of flying jobs—even the airlines!
