Commercial Pilot License Certificate (CPL)

Will I need a license to fly as a student pilot?

You will not need a license to fly as a student pilot because you will be under the supervision of a flight instructor and your flying school at all times while you are learning, including when you are flying solo.
However, to fly solo you will need an aviation reference number (ARN), which you can obtain from CASA, and you will need to provide CASA with proof of your identity. There is no fee for this service and you should receive your ARN within one week of submitting an application.

To fly solo, you will also need to hold either a CASA class 1 or 2 medical certificate or a recreational aviation medical practitioners certificate. If you have a recreational aviation medical practitioners certificate you will be limited to conduct solo flights in recreational aircraft only.

The Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) Course comprises of three parts;

  • Part 1 is the Recreational Pilots Licence
  • Part 2 is the Navigation Stage (PPL)
  • Part 3 is the Cmmercial Stage (CPL)

Part 3 CPL

This course provides deep understanding of how to handle an aircraft like a commercial pilot and enhance the advancement of your aviation career.

  • The RPL syllabus is revisited and taught in more detail and of a higher standard to fine tune the pilot’s skills.
  • Navigation is revised and taught so the pilot will develop a greater depth of skill to become a more efficient and adaptable pilot.
  • Our team of experienced professional instructors guide you through our in-house multi engine flight simulator, which further enhances the content quality of our course, both in theory and practice.
