 The
Commercial Pilot’s Program is designed for the individual who
wishes to become a professional helicopter pilot. It is based on the
FAA requirement of 150 hours of flight time.
FAA
Requirements
Federal
regulations require a minimum of 150 hours of flight time as a pilot
of which 100 hours must be as Pilot-in-Command (PIC). A written
test, as well as an oral and practical test with an FAA examiner
must be taken to obtain the Commercial Pilot’s License.
A
Class II medical that is valid for 12 calendar months.
Stage I
The
instructor will provide advanced training in flight maneuvers as
well as off-site landings, maximum performance maneuvers, and advanced
emergency procedures beyond FAA standards. These will include (but
are not limited to) stuck pedal landings, simulated engine failures
from take-off, and 180 degree, straight-in, & zero airspeed
autorotations from 500 feet. Our goal is to have the student gain
confidence and proficiency for a myriad of emergency situations
before they happen.
Stage
II
 The
student will conduct flights in and around the New York and Philadelphia
Class B airspace. This satisfies the necessity to build flight hours
and deal with complex and congested airspace.
In addition to this quality flight training, the instructor will prepare
the student for the real world environment. Ground training will include
all of the necessary training to pass the FAA commercial practical
test and survive in the aviation market. The student will understand
the difference between FAR Part 91 (corporate) operations and FAR
Part 135 (charter) pilot responsibilities and limitations.
Furthermore,
the student will have the option to maximize his or her training finances
by including instrument training, Certified Flight Instructor (CFI),
and/or CFI instrument training within their commercial requirements.
These options are primarily dependent on the student’s motivation
and willingness to study and prepare accordingly.
At
this stage the instructor will prepare the student for the FAA checkride
and ensure that all the maneuvers can be carried out to the tolerances
set out by the Practical Test Standards (PTS) for the Commercial level.
