Programme Type - Commercial Pilot License (CPL)
A Commercial Pilot License (CPL) allows the holder to be paid to fly as a pilot-in-command or co-pilot of an aircraft. In order to obtain a CPL, individuals must meet certain requirements set by the regulating authority, such as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States. These requirements may include a minimum number of flight hours, a minimum age, and the completion of written and practical exams.Pilot training programs for the CPL typically include both classroom instruction and flight training. Classroom instruction covers topics such as aviation theory, navigation, and meteorology, while flight training allows students to gain hands-on experience flying an aircraft with a certified flight instructor.Holding a CPL allows pilots to fly a variety of aircraft for non-scheduled commercial operations, such as charter flights and aerial photography. It is also a stepping stone to obtaining an Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL), which is required to fly as a pilot-in-command for a scheduled airline.
Programme Type - Type Rating training
Type rating training is a specific type of pilot training that is required in order to fly certain types of aircraft. All commercial pilots, as well as some private pilots, are required to have a type rating in order to fly a particular make and model of aircraft.Type rating training typically involves both classroom instruction and flight training in the specific aircraft type.
The training covers the unique characteristics and systems of the aircraft, as well as emergency procedures and other important information.Obtaining a type rating is a necessary step for pilots who wish to fly certain types of aircraft, such as large jets or turboprops. It is important for pilots to complete type rating training in order to ensure that they are adequately prepared and qualified to fly the aircraft safely.
