Accelerated  Commercial Pilot Program

This course was designed for the student that wishes to pursue a career in aviation as a pilot and already has a Private Pilot License (U.S. or Foreign). This will start with the instrument rating and continue through the Commercial - Single Engine with the Commercial Multi Engine as a later option. After successfully completing the course, the student will have the qualifications to charge for his piloting skills. The Commercial License with the Instrument Rating is a requirement for the Certified Flight Instructor - Airplane Course. Credit can be given students that have more than 50 hours of flight time thereby reducing the cost of the course.
