Become a Professional Pilot
Are you ready to start your journey to becoming a professional pilot? Obtaining a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) is your ticket to an aviation career, as it will allow you to take on paid flying work as a professional pilot.
To commence this course you must first hold a Private Pilot Licence (PPL). You will build on the knowledge of your previous training, and learn more advanced flight techniques and procedures. You will begin with CPL theory, and once you have passed your CASA theory exams you will move on to practical flight training in a Diamond DA40 aircraft. Following practical training, you will need to pass the CPL flight test to receive your Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL).
A Career the Skies
Working as a pilot is an exciting and rewarding career, and there are a number of different pathways available to pilots with a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL).
Aside from working towards a career with a commercial airline, there are also opportunities in a range of different industries including tourism, agriculture, cargo, passenger transport and more. You can also look at becoming a Flight Instructor, which is a fantastic way to build hours while you earn, and set yourself up to achieve your professional pilot dreams.
