So how does getting a Commercial Pilots License actually work?
You start your training as someone who has never flown before and work through to first solo, your first licence, first endorsements and eventually all the way to a Commercial Pilot Licence flight test. You will need a total of 100 hours as Pilot-in-Command to get your CPL and 200 hours total time. These hours count from the beginning of your training all the way through the process.
At Learn 2 Fly our CPL courses aim to let you complete additional qualifications and fly industry relevant aircraft types while you train to increase your chances of getting your first job as a pilot. We will work with you to help you achieve your goals. Job ready is our focus! You won’t be getting into an airliner as your first job so let us give you the skills you need to kickstart your career.
Theory
You must pass 7 CPL theory exams along with meeting some other requirements like English Language Proficiency and holding a medical.
The CPL-Theory Exams are:
- CPL Navigation (CNAV)
- CPL Meteorology (CMET)
- CPL Human Factors (CHUF)
- CPL Air Law (CLWA)
- CPL Aerodynamics (CADA)

The pass mark for each subject is 70% (except Air Law which requires you to pass with 80%). From the date of your first exam you have 2 years to finish all subjects.
Our Full-Time pathway comes with classroom theory courses for these subjects and while our Part-Time course does not Learn 2 Fly periodically runs theory courses for all levels of flight training on demand. If you want classroom training, we have you covered.
Once you have your full Commercial Pilot Licence you will have accumulated over 200 hours and be ready for your first job. Our Full-Time students will then continue on with Multi Engine and Instrument ratings.

Frequently asked questions:
Funding
Planning how you will fund your commercial pilot licence is an essential step in a successful training program. At Learn 2 Fly our students choose from a number of different funding paths. Finance is personal, you need to decide what is right for you and it is essential you read any terms and conditions and decide if financial advice is right for you.
Self-Funding Full-Time
Some students chose to self-fund their entire full-time course. Training full-time minimises delays in training and saves money in the long run. Students who choose this option do so a number of ways through savings, loans or even smart investments.
This option takes planning and is not possible for everyone but it does lead to consistency in training which results in consistent progression for the student. You will be billed as you move through the CPL course in line with our standard fee schedule but at a faster pace due to the full-time nature of your training.
Self-funding PAYG
The majority of our Part-Time and Full-Time to Part-Time pathway students utilise this model of funding. Using our fee schedule and sometimes savings or loans our students can plan ahead for each bill and speed up or slow down their training as required to suit their financial requirements.
The more flexible training models also allow students to train in blocks after saving, go on extended breaks or holidays and work around their home and working lives while becoming a pilot. The fee schedule will allow you to know when to expect your next bill based on what lesson you are up to.
