1. Age Requirement
- You must be at least 18 years old.
2. Language Proficiency
- You must be able to read, speak, write, and understand English.
3. Medical Certificate
- You must hold at least a second-class medical certificate issued by an FAA-authorized aviation medical examiner. This ensures you meet the physical and mental standards to operate an aircraft safely.
4. Pilot Certificate
- You must already hold a Private Pilot License (PPL). A PPL is a prerequisite for obtaining a CPL.
5. Flight Experience Requirements
- You must have a minimum of 250 hours of total flight time, which includes:
- 100 hours as pilot-in-command (PIC).
- 50 hours of cross-country flight as PIC.
- 10 hours of night flight, which must include:
- At least one night cross-country flight of at least 100 nautical miles.
- 20 hours of flight training with an instructor, which must include:

- 10 hours of training in a complex aircraft (with retractable landing gear, flaps, and a controllable pitch propeller).
- 10 hours of solo flight, which must include:

- Weather and navigation.
- Flight operations, procedures, and safety.
7. Check Ride (Practical Test)
- After completing the necessary training and flight hours, you must pass a check ride (also known as the practical test) with an FAA examiner. This test evaluates your ability to perform a range of maneuvers and procedures that you will be required to execute as a commercial pilot.
8. Other Qualifications
- You must demonstrate the ability to perform a variety of tasks as a commercial pilot, including complex flight maneuvers, emergency procedures, and other duties that ensure the safety of passengers and crew.
9. Flight Training

Once you meet all of these requirements and pass the check ride, you will be issued a Commercial Pilot Certificate, allowing you to work as a commercial pilot in the United States.
