Commercial Pilot Training
The FAA's Commercial Pilot training requirements are wholly insufficient and do not effectively prepare pilots to exercise the privileges of their Commercial Pilot Certificate. More on this in a minute.
Here are all of the study materials and courses you need to create your own Commercial Pilot Ground Course and pass your Commercial Pilot checkride:
Here are all of the study materials and courses you need to create your own Commercial Pilot Ground Course and pass your Commercial Pilot checkride:
- FAA Commercial Pilot Written Knowledge Test Prep: Sheppard Air - $45 Complete this exactly as Sheppard Air recommends and you will pass the written test.
- Commercial Pilot Checkride Oral Prep: ASA Oral Exam Guide - $13 Study this book using our recommended studying methods and you are likely to pass your oral.
- Commercial Pilot Practical Test Prep: UND Videos - Free Watch the videos in this playlist to learn everything you need to know about the maneuvers. It is recommended you watch them before your lesson, and then again many times afterwards.
Unfortunately, after nailing your Power-Off 180, reciting FAR 91.213 perfectly, and being handed your brand new temporary Commercial Pilot Certificate, you will likely find yourself grossly unprepared and unequipped to exercise your privileges as a commercial pilot. Why?
- Commercial Pilot Training fails to emphasize or remedy the biggest challenges in flying for hire
- Commercial Pilot Training fails to provide practical advice for finding a job flying airplanes
- Commercial Pilot Training fails to provide practical knowledge on flying larger, more complex aircraft
- Commercial Pilot Training fails to provide knowledge or experience flying as a crew
- Commercial Pilot Training requires flying maneuvers that will never be used in real-life
- Commercial Pilot Training fails to cover the personal, social, and mental challenges of flying professionally
- Commercial Pilot Training fails to explain how to effectively study for type ratings
The test prep solutions previously mentioned do a fine job at preparing one to pass all of the FAA-required evaluations, so there is no reason for Oregon Flight School to reinvent the wheel. To pass the checkride, use them.
Instead, we want to help fill in the massive wholes left in Commercial Pilot flight training. Oregon Flight School is currently developing a practical Commercial Pilot course that will cover the aforementioned shortcomings, as well as many others. This course will be be useful to the Commercial Pilot applicant as well as those of you who already hold a Commercial Pilot certificate because it is NOT a course designed to teach to any test - it is a course designed for real-life Commercial Pilot flying.
The course will be comprised of useful knowledge and insight acquired by professional pilots over the course of thousands of hours on the job. As of now, it will likely be a combination of book and video content so that no matter what type of learner you are, you will be able to effectively learn the material. It will also be very affordable.
