CPL(A) is the first milestone in a professional aviation career, meaning that you can now conduct commercial flights and make money out of it. Together with qualifications for night flying (NIGHT) and instrument flying IR(A), you can fly during both day and night under almost any weather conditions. To start the course, you need to hold at least a Private Pilot License PPL(A) and have a total flight time of at least 150 hours.
The Commercial Pilot License CPL(A) allows you to fly as a professional pilot. Holders of a commercial pilot license with limited flight experience can work as charter flight pilots or instructors while gaining flight experience. With this license, relevant theoretical knowledge for an airline pilot, and qualifications for flying multi-engine aircraft, you can apply for a position as an airline pilot in any aviation company.
Total flight training hours: 25 hours*
of which instrument flying: 10 hours**
of which on a complex aircraft: minimum 5 hours
minimum hours / *holders of IR(A) may have the training shortened by 10 hours from the total number of hours; credit from previous pilot experience see above Requirements
Before starting the CPL(A) training course, students must commence the CPL(A) Theory Course or the ATPL(A) Theory Course. More about the CPL(A) Theory Course at our school can be found here. Those interested in working as an airline pilot are recommended to complete the required theoretical training within the Airline Transport Pilot License Theory – ATPL(A).
The CPL(A)/ATPL(A) Theory Course must be approved by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and can be completed at any flight school offering this course. An applicant for the CPL(A) flight test must successfully pass the CPL(A) or ATPL(A) theory exams at the CAA in any EASA member state.
Before starting the course: Total flight time minimum 150 hours
Before the final CPL(A) flight test: Total flight time minimum 200 hours
VFR solo navigational flight covering a total distance of 540 km (300NM) with two landings at two different airports different from the departure airport
Night training totaling a minimum of 5 hours
The price you will have to pay to learn to fly and obtain a pilot’s license varies from person to person and depends on many factors. The price should not be the main factor in deciding where to get your pilot’s license. When it comes to flight training, cheap is rarely good.
Your goals in flying have a significant impact on how your overall flight training will be conducted. If you want to fly only recreationally, training in an aircraft with lighter avionics will be significantly cheaper than compared to a businessman or future professional pilot.
The price of pilot training for individual pilot licenses is set in connection with the number of flight hours in the curriculum, the time of ground preparations, and theoretical instruction in the classroom. Further, it is necessary to count additional expenses for landing and other airport fees and fees for exams at authorities and payments for obtaining necessary permits for training.
Will be conducted in Georgia at 1 of these 6 Airports depending on weather and flight tasking.
Citizens of many CIS and European countries can enter Georgia without a visa and stay here for up to one year. We can help with an invitation if needed.
The theoretical part (if needed) is conducted online. The flight training takes place at Natakhtari Airfield (Georgia).
Yes. All courses are paid in stages — you only pay for the current module (PPL, flight hours, etc.).
Yes. We offer accommodation either directly at the airfield or nearby Mtskheta area.
A basic level is enough to start. Aviation English (ICAO) exam will be required — we help organize it online.
No. For CPL(A) you must already have a PPL(A) license. If you don’t have it yet, start with PPL(A) course.
You will need a Class 1 Medical Certificate for CPL(A) practical training and licensing.
