Additional Ratings >> Commercial Pilot

No matter what their "other" profession is in life, all pilots dream about what it would be like to take off and land a Boeing 747. Or do an instrument approach in a Boeing 777 into the Rio de Janeiro airport. Every airline pilot will tell you that there is nothing in the world like doing what you love and getting paid very well to do it. So if you want a job that pays well, has great benefits, has lots of responsibility, and is so much fun you almost feel guilty come payday, then Sawyer Aviation is the right place for you. With over 6000 graduates from our pilot programs, we know what it takes to get you to your dreams.

Program: You may work towards your Commercial Pilot License even if you have no previous aviation experience. In this case you would first get your PPL and IFR. After completing these courses you would be ready to pursue the Commercial Pilot License Course. If you are already a pilot, every logged flight hour will count towards the 250 hours of total flight time required to receive a CPL. In addition to the flight time requirement you must be at least 18 years old to obtain your CPL. The average time to take a full time student from zero aviation experience to the CPL is 3-4 months. If you already have your PPL or IFR the time could be as little as 1-2 weeks depending on ratings held and your total flight time.

Privileges and Limitations: With your newly acquired CPL, you can fly almost any single-engine airplane and best of all you can get paid to do it.
