What can I do with it?

A Commercial Pilot License (CPL) allows you to fly professionally and be compensated for your flying services. With this license, you can work as a pilot in a variety of aviation operations such as charter flights, aerial photography, flight instruction (with the appropriate instructor rating), cargo operations, and other commercial aviation activities.

The CPL is a major milestone for pilots who want to turn their passion for flying into a career. It provides the advanced flight training, knowledge, and operational skills required to safely operate aircraft in professional environments.

For many pilots, the Commercial Pilot License is also the gateway to further professional qualifications and opportunities in the aviation industry, including multi-engine ratings, instrument ratings, and eventually flying for airlines.
