Our commercial pilot license school will help you gain experience and confidence by completing a solo cross-country experience. Dozens of airports throughout Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, and California will be at your disposal as you plan and execute your own flight plans during this stage. Climate differences across these states will also give you well-rounded experience flying in various weather conditions. As a commercial pilot, this skill is key to ensuring passengers safely reach their destinations on time.

During the second stage of your commercial flight training, you will be exposed to advanced single-engine airplane maneuvers, as well as flying a multi-engine aircraft. You will build skills in the single-engine and/or multi-engine aircraft in preparation for the check ride, which will earn you a Commercial Pilot Certificate.
