Pilot Prep Series:

Commercial Prep (Canada)

* The Canadian Commercial Pilot licence is a VFR licence that permits a pilot to fly commercial revenue flights on any aircraft for which he is qualified. An Instrument Rating qualification may be added, but is not required for day VFR operations in most light aircraft.

COMMERCIAL PREP can be used as a single course reference by both ground school instructors and commercial students for the pending 80 hour ground school requirement. COMMERCIAL PREP not only prepares pilots for the commercial examination, it contains information on flight operations, mountain weather, mountain flying and pilot decision making that will help prepare them for their working life in the air.
