ATF 2201 Commercial Pilot I

This is the first of three courses needed to complete the training required for the FAA Commercial Pilot certificate for multi or single-engine airplanes. This course covers the first phase of commercial pilot training: cross-country navigation and flight review. It includes 40 hours of solo flight, 13 hours of dual flight instruction, and 1.5 hours of pre-/post flight briefings with an FAA-approved flight instructor.

After completing this course, students take Commercial Pilot II and III to meet the requirements for the Commercial Pilot certificate. It should be noted that the hours above are based on FAA-syllabus minimums, and students may exceed these minimum hours. The cost for these additional flight hours is not covered by the course fee.

This course also has special requirements which students must meet prior to enrolling:

  1. Students must hold a minimum of an FAA third-class medical certificate (Current Second-class for GI Bill students)
  2. Students must hold an Instrument Pilot Certificate
  3. Students must be U.S. citizens or have TSA authorization to start flight training
  4. Students must meet with the Program Director to verify documentation and review course requirements and flight training costs

Pasco-Hernando State college provides the flight instruction through a college-contracted flight school.
