Q & A.

Is the complex endorsement part of the commercial pilot certificate training?

The commercial pilot certificate requires 10 hours of training in either a complex or a Technically Advanced Aircraft (TAA). At AlphaFlight, we use a TAA to stay with a common fleet. The complex endorsement is given during the multi-engine course.

How many flight hours are needed to become a commercial pilot?

To be eligible for the commercial pilot certificate under Part 61, a pilot needs to log 250 hours of total time. Pilots training under AlphaFlight’s Part 141 program enjoy a reduced requirement of 120 hours due to the highly structured nature of the course.
