Upon completion of the commercial course, students can work at the various airlines in Kenya and the region. This is your ticket to becoming a fully fledged licensed pilot with authorization to fly commercial airlines.

Possession of a Commercial Pilot’s License allows the holder to carry hundreds of paying passengers and valuable cargo thousands of miles around the world, all of whom are entitled to and expect that the flight crew have attained the utmost training standards. Training to acquire a Commercial Pilot’s License is a huge commitment which will take over a year and costs a lot to achieve. However those willing to make this commitment embark on an exciting, adventurous and financially rewarding career.

Once you have completed and passed your CPL you will be able to gain financially from your flying. However, you will not be able to operate in an environment that involves flight in instrument meteorological conditions (in cloud) – such as airline flying.

You will be able to fly in roles such as aerial survey, crop spraying, parachuting and flight instruction (subject to holding a valid Flight Instructor (FI) rating). Should you wish to fly airlines, business jets, etc you would need to complete an Instrument Rating (IR) after completing your CPL.

The course is your final step to being a pilot for a commercial airline. We are one of the few flying schools in Nairobi, Kenya that offer such a thorough and intensive CPL course for our students to become properly trained commercial pilots.

In Kenya, pilots are trained in accordance with the Kenya Civil Aviation Regulations, which allows them to apply for their Licence in as little as 40 hours. However, most pilots require 50–60 hours of flight time to complete training.
