In Hungary, obtaining a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) follows the guidelines set by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Since Hungary is a member of the European Union, the requirements are largely in line with EASA regulations. Here's an overview of the steps to obtain a CPL in Hungary:
1. Eligibility Requirements
- Age: You must be at least 18 years old.
- Language Proficiency: You need to be proficient in English, as it is the international language of aviation.
- Medical Fitness: You must pass a Class 1 medical examination from an EASA-approved aviation medical examiner.
- Educational Background: A high school diploma is usually required. A higher education degree may be beneficial, but not mandatory.
2. Obtain a Private Pilot License (PPL)
Before pursuing a CPL, you must have a Private Pilot License (PPL). The PPL is the foundational license that allows you to fly for personal reasons, and it is required as a prerequisite for commercial pilot training.
- PPL Requirements:
- Minimum of 45 flight hours (this may vary slightly depending on the school).
- Includes solo flying, cross-country flying, and night flying.
3. Choose a Flight School
You will need to enroll in an EASA-approved flight school that offers CPL training. These schools are certified by Hungary's aviation authority or EASA, and they provide the necessary theoretical and flight training. Some of the well-known flight schools in Hungary offer integrated programs that can combine PPL and CPL training.
4. Flight Training for the CPL
The flight training includes both practical flight hours and theoretical ground school instruction. Here are the minimum requirements:
- Total Flight Hours: 200 hours of total flight time, which must include:
- 100 hours of Pilot-in-Command (PIC) time.
- 20 hours of cross-country flying.
- 10 hours of night flying.
- Flight Training with an Instructor: You will need at least 20 hours of flight training with an instructor, including various maneuvers and handling of different flight scenarios.
5. Complete Ground School
You will also need to complete theoretical ground school, which covers essential subjects such as:
- Air Law and Regulations
- Aircraft Systems
- Navigation and Flight Planning
- Meteorology
- Human Factors
- Flight Safety
6. Pass the Written Knowledge Test
After completing ground school, you must pass a written knowledge exam that tests your understanding of the material covered in ground school. The exam will include subjects like aviation law, flight planning, navigation, weather, and aircraft systems.
7. Accumulate the Required Flight Hours
You need to log the required hours of flying time (e.g., 200 hours). This can be done through both dual instruction (with an instructor) and solo flying. Some flight schools offer packages that allow you to complete the required hours in a set period.
8. Complete a Skill Test (Check Ride)
After meeting the hour requirements and passing the written exam, you will need to pass a practical skill test (check ride) with an EASA examiner. This flight test will assess your ability to operate the aircraft safely and demonstrate your proficiency in various maneuvers, including emergency procedures.
9. Apply for the CPL
Once you've passed the check ride and completed all necessary requirements, you can submit your application to the Hungarian Civil Aviation Authority (HCAA) for your CPL. The HCAA will review your documents, and if everything is in order, they will issue your CPL.
10. Additional Ratings (if required)
Depending on the type of aircraft and the specific job you intend to pursue, you may need to obtain additional ratings, such as:
- Instrument Rating (IR) for flying in low-visibility conditions.
- Multi-Engine Rating (ME) if you plan to fly multi-engine aircraft.
- Type Ratings for specific aircraft types.
11. Ongoing Medical Checks
To maintain your CPL, you will need to undergo periodic Class 1 medical examinations to ensure you meet the required physical standards.
