The Canadian Flyers Commercial Pilot ground school conforms to Transport Canada licencing requirements. The course must be minimum of 80 hours in duration and cover the topics noted below. As in our Private Pilot ground school, we again exceed the minimum times to ensure all participants are fully prepared to successfully complete the Transport CPL exam. The Commercial Pilot ground school covers essentially the same topics as those found in the Private Pilot ground school course but in this instance participants will study topics in greater depth to gain a more expert understanding of each subject area. Practice exams remain the norm and every effort is made to ensure that students achieve a level of understanding comensurate with the qualities of a professional pilot.
