Are you a private pilot who is looking for a fun way to improve your VFR flying skills? You should consider getting your commercial pilot certificate. The commercial certificate is one of the easiest and most fun ratings out there. It involves taking a knowledge test which is similar to the private knowledge test but has more regulatory questions and more math, and learning to do a different set of VFR maneuvers in a technically advanced plane such as one of CSP's RV-12s. You will need a third class medical or basic med to take the checkride and a second class medical to use the commercial pilot certificate. You also must be at least 18 years old, able to read, speak, write, and understand English, and have at least 250 flight hours. This includes 100 hours of pilot-in-command time and 50 hours of cross-country. (This time gets broken down into a few other specifics requirements as well.) The certificate will allow you to be paid for jobs such as banner towing, pipeline patrol, and ferrying aircraft. At CSP, we sometimes call upon our commercial pilot renters and let them ferry our planes to maintenance shops at no cost. Best of all, completing a new rating such as the commercial certificate, is a fun way to do your flight review as it resets your flight review clock.
