COMMERCIAL PILOT CERTIFICATE

AT YOUR OWN PACE OR ACCELERATED

Training Overview

Earn your Commercial Pilot Certificate through our accelerated, finish-up, course, or accomplish your dream on your own schedule.

When you train for your Commercial Certificate with CRAFT, you are training with professionals. You will conduct your training in our Technically Advanced Aircraft (TAA) using our Diamond DA40. In addition to the maneuvers you mastered while earning your Private Pilot Certificate and instrument rating, you will also gain necessary skills in maximum performance maneuvers such as the chandelle, lazy-8 and eights-on-pylons. Through our Commercial Pilot training you should expect to build your confidence as a pilot through precision, coordination, planning, spatial awareness and ease of use on the controls. After completion of your training, your proficiency and skill level will set you on the right course to become a highly sought after airline pilot.
