average time to get commercial pilot license

ADVANCE FLYING ACADEMY

The average time to obtain a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) in the United States typically ranges from 6 months to 2 years, depending on various factors, including the flight school, the student's availability, and the frequency of training sessions.

Here’s a general breakdown of the timeline:

Pre-Requisite: To begin training for a CPL, you must already hold a Private Pilot License (PPL). If you have this, you'll already have some of the necessary flight hours.
Flight Hours: The FAA requires a minimum of 250 total flight hours to be eligible for a CPL. If you're training full-time and flying several times a week, this could be completed in about 6 months to 1 year. However, many students may take longer, especially if they train part-time or weather conditions impact their flight schedule.
Training Intensity:
- Full-time students may complete the training more quickly, possibly within 6-12 months if they are flying frequently (4-5 times per week).
- Part-time students or those flying less frequently may take 1-2 years to accumulate the required flight hours and experience.
Additional Requirements: Beyond flight hours, you'll need to complete ground school, pass written exams, and undergo check rides and other assessments. This process can take additional time, depending on your schedule and study pace.

In summary, if training is full-time and consistent, expect to complete a CPL in about 6 months to 1 year. For part-time training, it may take 1 to 2 years.
