PRICING - COMMERCIAL RATING

  A commercial pilots license is required for any pilot who wishes to fly for compensation or hire.  

A basic commercial license is required for such activities as becoming a flight instructor, crop dusting, banner towing, towing gliders, and other flying activities. A pilot who wished to eventually apply for a job with a charter, regional or national airline must possess a commercial license, and may eventually need to earn other ratings, such as an ATP License or specific aircraft type ratings. While an instrument rating is not a prerequisite for a commercial license, it is recommended.

  • Under Part 61, a pilot must have at least 250 hours of flight time, including at least 50 hours of cross country PIC time. There are several the specific requirements that must be met. The advantage of training under Part 61 is that pilots often find that they meet most of the requirements, except perhaps the complex aircraft training requirement. If you elect to train under Part 61, you will receive credit for the time you have already. In many cases the flight time needed may be only a small portion of the total requirement.

Aircraft Rental Rates: Aircraft rental costs have been fluctuating recently with the variable (and lately increasing) cost of aviation fuel. Be sure when you compare costs that you inquire about fuel surcharges. At Shannon School of Aeronautics, we choose to provide aircraft costs inclusive of all charges.

PART 61

 The cost estimate for a student who has completed total time (or within 90%) and also the experience requirements of CFR 61.129 (a) may be able to complete the commercial training for as little as $3,000. The best course of action would be to . Some students may have also completed other parts of the training, such as night solo time or the long, solo cross country. In these cases, credit will be allowed when the flight times meet the requirement under the FAR. The total cost is an estimate and will vary, and may in fact be much less.
