Commercial Pilot
Flying is fun, but getting paid to do it is even better. Third Coast Aviation offers commercial pilot training at far lower prices than competing flight schools. When you complete your work at our pilot school, your FAA Commercial Certificate will allow you to fly everything from crop-dusters to Airbus A380s. We maintain the highest standards of aircraft equipment, and our instructors are professional and thorough. We offer both single- and multi-engine pilot training, and we do it for $20,000 to $30,000 less than the others.
Our multi-engine course will get you 100 hours of flight time in our Cessna 310 as well as training in multi-engine operations, cross-country flights, instrument procedures, emergency operations and more. A Commercial Pilot Certificate awaits you upon completion of flight training which includes 50 hours of cross-country time, 5 hours of instrument training, 10 hours of complex aircraft training and 10 hours of solo flight. Upon completion of multi-engine training you will have an exhaustive understanding of the procedures for multi-engine aircraft.
Our single-engine course yields a Single-Engine Commercial Certificate after 50 hours in our complex Piper Arrow as well as our other single-engine airplanes, including 10 hours of cross country time, 5 hours of instrument training and 10 hours of solo flight. After single-engine training you will understand the rules and regulations to exercise commercial pilot privileges, know commercial maneuvers, enhance your flying skills and be more precise with power-off accuracy landings.
These courses will impel you toward the 250 hours of total flight time required for FAA certification.
