The CPL course at Breda Aviation is specially designed for pilots who want to develop into commercial pilot. You will combine theory and practice in a well-balanced programme focused on the requirements of today's aviation industry.

Whether you want to become an instructor, conduct charter flights or progress to ATPL: at Breda Aviation you will get the guidance and resources to realise your ambitions.
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).

At Breda Aviation, we put you first, so that you not only achieve the CPL training, but also take full advantage of it.
A CPL is no small step - it is the transition to a professional life in the cockpit. That's why you want to make sure you take that step with a flight school that thinks with you, understands you and delivers quality.
At Breda Aviation you get a clear training path, with experienced instructors who coach you on technique, but also on your role as a future professional pilot. The modular format makes it feasible, even alongside work or other commitments.
And perhaps most importantly: we don't treat you like a number, but as a pilot in the making. With ambition, but also with questions. And that is what we are here for.
The Private Pilot Licence (PPL) allows you to fly as a private pilot for recreational purposes, without financial compensation. A PPL allows you to bring friends and family, but commercial flights are not allowed.
The Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL), on the other hand, gives you the authority to fly for pay. This means you can work as a professional pilot, for example as a flight instructor, to carry out advertising flights, sightseeing flights or other commercial activities. A CPL allows you to hold the position of captain on aircraft weighing up to 5,700 kg or with fewer than 19 passenger seats.
The cost of a CPL course varies depending on several factors, such as the flight school, the type of aircraft and the duration of the course. At Breda Aviation, CPL training is tailor-made, where you pay per lesson taken. This offers flexibility and prevents you from having to invest a large amount in one go. For a detailed cost estimate, it is best to contact Breda Aviation directly.
