Your Commercial Pilot License Course (CPL) continues on completion of your fixed PPL-exam with CPL-Theory. In the evening and at your free time you have to recapitulate the lessons.

Advanced Handling: approx. 60 hrs. (30 dual, 30 solo) All handling skills are first raised to a high standard, using a ratio of dual and solo training to achieve target performance standards. Once this has been completed, a good foundation for the instrument flying technique is established, as part of the night rating. Long range solo basic VFR navigation consolidation (300 nm radius) is used to increase exposure and develop command skills.

Advanced Navigation & Systems: approx. 45 hrs. (10 dual, 35 solo)
Obtained skills are expanded on, and the use of the various radio navigation aids is first mastered on a procedural trainer (8 hours - included in above totals) before these techniques are practiced on day and night solo training flights as far a field as Bloemfontein, Kimberley, Johannesburg, Pretoria and Durban. Once this phase of your training is completed you will prepare for the computer based CPl exams written in Midrand Johannesburg. This is done by enrolling for the CPL ground school. The chief of the ground school and partly your instructor will brief and control the advance of your understanding and skills. The Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) needs your full attention. Your self-study is monitored by preparing homework. There are 8 subjects which are Meteorology, Law and Procedures, Instruments, Navigation and Plotting, Radio Aids, Engines and Airframes, Human Performance and Flight Planning.

Instrument Procedural: approx. 40 hrs. (20 hrs. dual, 20 hrs. solo) The instrument control technique and advanced navigation techniques form the foundation of the IFR departure, en route, arrival and approach procedures. Our training airports are fully equipped with all the modern navigational aids needed to do advanced navigation and IFR training. All three types of Instrument Approach procedures (VOR, NDB and ILS) may be practised extensively by students on the advanced courses and considerable experience of operating in controlled airspace is gained which is not usually available for training flights in busier centres. Therefore excellent occassions to practise a training of a very high standard.
This phase can culminate on enquiry of the student with an international cross country flight to Botswana or Swaziland, which affords exposure to the broad operational environment, including international procedures and operation at high density altitude.

The CPL/ME/IFR training will take place at the end phases of your training. This will be done on our advanced Piper Seneca II Twin.

Once the required standard of flying is achieved, the chief flying instructor will sign you out for your final flight test, the CPL flight test. This is the point in any professional pilot's career that will be remembered second to your first solo. This is the mile stone in ones training which will take almost one year (average) and a lot of hard work and dedication was required to lead up to this point. Once the test is done and you have earned your wing as a Com Pilot you will mark the start of a career and journey that is unevened by any other career........
