Commercial Pilot

Ever wanted to fly for a living?

Are you longing to fly for the airlines, be a fire bomber, crop duster, flight instructor or skywriter? Well, these and hundreds of other flying careers have one thing in common: they all require a commercial pilot’s certificate.

Even if you don’t want to use your wings to earn your paycheck, commercial training gives you the skills to fly complex aircraft with the precision and safety margins that airline passengers have come to take for granted.

When you train for your commercial certificate at Windy City Flyers, you will fly a Cessna 182RG, Beechcraft Debonair or Piper Seminole (for multi-commercial). In addition to the maneuvers you mastered while earning your private pilot certificate and instrument rating, you will learn additional, maximum performance maneuvers such as the chandelle, lazy-8 and eights-on-pylons. This training will build your precision, coordination, planning, orientation and overall smoothness on the controls. After your training, short field and crosswind landings will be a breeze!
