The Commercial Pilot's Licence

Many of those embarking, or considering embarking, on commercial pilot's training have little idea of what they will have to do, as far as flying training is concerned, to get the licence.

The Commercial Pilot's Licence aim to dispel some common misconceptions and to tell you in an easy and user-friendly way what you need to know to get a JAA CPL and become a better pilot.

Much of the literature available to CPL students has much to say about what you will have to fly but not how to fly it.

This book, by contrast, offers real practical advice on the lesson content and how to fly the manoeuvres, rather than just a list of what you are expected to know at the end of it.

Topics covered include: things to consider before you start; the CPL syllabus sections; what happens during the test and, finally, after the test.
