Commercial 141

If you would like to make a living as a pilot, you will need a commercial pilot license for the category and class of aircraft you intend to operate. There are two ways to obtain such a license, by completing either the Part 61 or the Part 141 commercial requirements. Kingsky Flight Academy offers both commercial pilot programs, each with its own advantages.

Even if you don’t plan to fly for a living, working on your commercial pilot certificate can be a good idea. Like the instrument rating, the 141 commercial pilot requirements hone basic flying skills. Although it is a standard check-off for the person planning to fly for a living, the commercial certificate is also a good way for the recreational flier to gain increased confidence and become more professional in the cockpit.

Earning Your Commercial Pilot License Under Part 141

Federal Aviation Regulations lay out the requirements for each path to a commercial pilot license. The primary differences between the commercial pilot license requirements under part 141 vs. Part 61 are the number of hours of minimum flight time required and the structure of the training program.

As a more structured and formalized flight training program, Kingsky’s Part 141 flight training program offers these benefits to students:

• A clear timetable and structured process to reach your goals quickly
• Fewer flight hours required, which can reduce the cost of your pilot license
• A greater variety of training aids and equipment available in a dedicated training facility
• More ability to transfer to a another program than is possible with Part 61
• Financial aid provided under the GI bill for veterans and their families, which is not available for Part 61 training

Commercial Pilot License Requirements for Part 141

A commercial pilot certificate allows you to become a paid pilot, working as a flight instructor, corporate pilot, traffic reporting, agricultural pilot, infrastructure patrol, or a wide variety of other industries that hire professional pilots. The process involves approved coursework, stage checks, written tests, and a final check flight or “checkride.”

Kingsky Flight Academy will guide you through the five phases of the Part 141 pilot certification process. You will be part of a training group progressing from pre-application through final testing and certification, and you will be truly prepared and confident as you schedule that final checkride to earn your commercial pilot license.

The approved coursework will include all required topics and proficiency in instrument rating and additional aircraft categories or class ratings as required for your personal or career plans.
