- You will need to accumulate a minimum of 200 hours of flying, of which: 40 hours must be instrument flight training, 20 hours may be done on an approved simulator (10 hours already done through PPL and Night Rating courses). A minimum of 100 hours as pilot in command (PIC) is also required, of which at least 50 hours must be cross country flight time.

A fee must be paid for issuing your CPL License and finally have your PPL upgraded to a CPL.
Instructor Rating
Graduates that have just completed their CPL will normally choose to do an Instructors Rating in order to gain experience. This rating will allow you to work as a flight Instructor. This involves undergoing individual skills testing, evaluation and preparation.
Requirements for Instructor Rating
- You must hold a valid Commercial or Airline Transport Pilot License.
- Complete 20 hours of Flight Instructor Patter (Learning to teach on the right side of the cockpit while providing feedback to the student)
