The above listed estimated cost is based on FAA requirements and reasonable expectations. It is not a "low ball" estimate base on FAA minimums. It includes all pilot supplies, books, charts, examiner fees, taxes and airport fees. For an additional fee, CRMatc will provide low cost housing and transportation for full time students.

The student must have both a Private Pilot Certification and and Instrument rating before enrolling in this course. An assumption has been made that the student has already logged 142 hours of flight time and 30 hours of FTD time. The actual cost of the course may vary either up or down depending on the students actual flight time prior to enrollment.

The student will receive both the single engine and multi-engine certifications. The student will Cessna 172SP's and Cessna 172RG's for the single engine certification, and a Piper Seminole or Seneca for the multi-engine.

The Commercial Pilot course includes advanced training concepts such as CRM, ADM, LOFT, and Crew Coordination. Upon successful completion of the course, the student may complete the CRM Aviation Training Center “jet transition” course and be ready for air carrier or business jet operations.

• Aircraft Systems, Airworthiness, Aerodynamics, Loading, Performance, Airspace, Airports, Air Traffic Control, Safety of Flight, High Altitude Operations, Aviation Weather and Weather charts, Recognition of critical weather situations and wind-shear avoidance, Federal Aviation Regulations, Aeronautical Information Manual, Navigation Planning, Avionics, and Flight Physiology.
• Aeronautical decision making and judgment; and crew resource management (CRM), including crew communication and coordination.

Ground training is programmed to require 26 hours of instruction and 20 hours of FTD training.

The student must successfully complete all flight training maneuvers outlined in the FAA practical test standards before the final evaluation for the Commercial Pilot Certificate. Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be issued the FAA Commercial Pilot Certificate with Airplane Single Engine and Mult-iengine Land.

Flight training is programmed to require 15 hours of mult-engine instruction, 1.5 hours for the multi-engine practical test (check ride), 21 hours of single engine instruction, 22 hours of single engine solo time and 1.5 hours for the single engine practical test.
