Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL)

Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL)

To fly commercially, or for compensation, you need at least a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL). A CPL allows you to hold the position of captain on aircraft weighing up to 5700 kg or with fewer than 19 passenger seats.

This course is designed for people who want a career as a professional pilot. For example, besides progressing to large-scale aviation, you can also consider a position as a flight instructor or performing advertising and sightseeing flights. At Breda Aviation, we combine the CPL with the MEP.

With a CPL, you also have the option to add an Instrument Rating (IR) and fly IR commercially.

What does the CPL look like in practice

For this training, we use our twin-engine aircraft, the Tecnam P2006T and our certified P2010 Simulator. In addition, it is also possible to obtain your CR-MEP (Multi Engine Piston) on our Tecnam P2006T.

Why the CPL on a Multi-Engine aircraft? The reason is that for your CPL, you need to fly on a 'complex' aircraft. Within our fleet, the P2006T meets the requirements for a complex aircraft. 

The aim is to make you a commercial pilot who makes the right choices in terms of airmanship.

During practical lessons, we build on the PPL. Now with tighter requirements on the flying itself. Alongside this, we address the effects of the commercial incentive in making decisions and pay attention to UPRT (Upset Prevention Recovery Training).

Commercial Pilot Licence theory

For our CPL/ATPL theory, we work with Distance learning. We partner with Orbit Groundschool for this purpose. Orbit has an online system based on BSG (Bristol Ground School) where you take the Progress Test (PT) remotely via Orbit Groundschool and you take an online brush-up. Once you have successfully completed the PT and brush-up, you can take exams on site at Orbit Groundschool through Austro Control.

In addition, it is also possible not to take the exams at Austro Control, but to take your exam at the CBR.

Our fleet is modern and fun

Basically, your CPL training starts with obtaining your PPL (Private Pilot Licence). We use the Aquila A211 for this purpose. This is a modern two-seater in which all PPL practice can be flown. This low-decker is equipped with modern avionics and a spacious open cockpit.

Apart from this, there is also the option to get your PPL on the Tecnam P2010. This is a very complete and modern high-decker. This aircraft is also used for the Instrument Rating (IR) part of the CPL training.
