While the Commercial Pilot Ground school begins during the 5th month of full-time training, Commercial Pilot flight training can only begin once students are qualified as Private Pilots. The estimated completion time for the Commercial program is approximately 6-12 months. Like Phase 1, a split-training schedule is also applied to Commercial Pilot training with daytime training flights and evening ground school classes. Students begin the necessary time-building to accumulate a minimum of 100 hours Pilot-in-Command, including the necessary cross-country flight experience, and night flying experience. During this time, students also complete the required dual flight training with an instructor, which introduces them to higher skilled exercises in preparation for the commercial flight test.
