ADVANCE FLYING ACADEMY

To obtain a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) in Oregon, you must meet the same Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements as in the rest of the United States. Here’s an overview of the steps and key information for obtaining a CPL in Oregon:

1. Eligibility Requirements

Before you can begin training for your CPL, you must meet the following basic requirements:

Age: You must be at least 18 years old.
Language: You must be able to read, speak, write, and understand English.
Medical Certificate: You must hold a second-class medical certificate issued by an FAA-authorized aviation medical examiner.

2. Prerequisites

Before you apply for a CPL, you need to have:

Private Pilot License (PPL): You must hold a valid Private Pilot License (PPL), as the CPL is a more advanced license.
Flight Hours: You must have accumulated a minimum of 250 total flight hours, which includes:
- 100 hours of pilot-in-command (PIC) time
- 50 hours of cross-country flight time
- 10 hours of instrument training
- 10 hours of night flight time, including at least one night cross-country flight.
- 20 hours of flight training with an instructor (including cross-country flights, maneuvers, and emergency procedures)
- 10 hours of solo flight time, including solo cross-country flights.

3. Flight Training in Oregon

You will need to enroll in a flight school that is accredited by the FAA to receive the required flight training. Oregon has many flight schools that provide CPL training, such as:

Hillsboro Aero Academy (Hillsboro, OR)
Portland Flight Training (Portland, OR)
Eugene Flight Center (Eugene, OR)
Avion Oregon (Medford, OR)

Flight schools in Oregon offer structured training programs that combine flight hours and ground school.

4. Ground School

You will need to complete ground school, which covers the theoretical knowledge required for the CPL exam. Ground school includes subjects like:

Airspace and regulations
Aerodynamics
Weather theory and interpretation
Navigation
Aircraft systems
Emergency procedures
Flight planning and operations

5. The Written Knowledge Exam

After completing the required training and studying the relevant materials, you will need to pass the FAA Commercial Pilot Knowledge Test (written exam). This exam covers the topics taught in ground school, including regulations, flight theory, weather, and flight planning.

You will need to score at least 70% to pass the written test.
The exam is computer-based and can be taken at an FAA-approved testing center.

6. Flight Test (Check Ride)

After completing the required flight hours and passing the written exam, you must undergo a check ride with an FAA examiner. The check ride includes:

Pre-flight briefing: You will discuss flight planning, weather conditions, and any special considerations.
In-flight maneuvers: You will demonstrate various maneuvers, including steep turns, power-off stalls, emergency procedures, cross-country navigation, and landings.
The examiner will assess your ability to make sound decisions, operate the aircraft safely, and apply your knowledge.

7. Medical Certification

You will need to obtain an FAA Second-Class Medical Certificate from an FAA-authorized aviation medical examiner (AME). The exam typically includes a physical examination, hearing and vision tests, and possibly a psychological evaluation. You can schedule a medical exam with AMEs in Oregon.

8. Application for CPL

Once you’ve completed the flight hours, written exam, and check ride, you can apply for your Commercial Pilot License with the FAA. Your flight school or instructor will typically assist in submitting your application through the FAA's Integrated Airman Certification and Rating Application (IACRA) system.

9. Fees and Costs

The cost of obtaining a Commercial Pilot License in Oregon can vary depending on the flight school and your personal progress. On average, you may expect the following costs:

Flight training: $8,000 - $15,000, depending on the school and number of hours.
Ground school: Can be included in flight training or be a separate cost.
Medical exam: Typically around $100 - $200.
Written exam fee: Around $150.
Check ride fee: Typically around $500 - $1,000.

10. Post-CPL Considerations

After obtaining your CPL, you can pursue further ratings, such as:

Instrument Rating: Allows you to fly in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC).
Multi-Engine Rating: Required if you plan to fly multi-engine aircraft commercially.
Certified Flight Instructor (CFI): Many pilots obtain their CFI rating to gain experience and flight hours while being paid.

11. Ongoing Requirements

After receiving your CPL, you must maintain your qualifications, including:

Meeting flight hour requirements for ongoing currency.
Completing a flight review every 24 months.
Keeping your medical certificate valid.

Summary:

To obtain a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) in Oregon, follow the general FAA steps of meeting eligibility requirements, completing flight training, passing the written knowledge exam, performing a check ride, and maintaining your medical certification. Flight schools in Oregon can provide you with the required training to complete this process.
