  5. Receive and log ground training from an authorized instructor or complete a home-study course.

Commercial Pilot Training Costs & Fees

The cost of obtaining your Commercial Pilot License is made up of airplane rental, instructor time, books and other study materials, pilot supplies, and the test fees. Obviously the final cost depends heavily on how many lessons you find you need before you’re ready to take the tests. Another significant variable is the airplane you decide to fly while learning. Many people choose to fly a Cessna 172, while they’re pursuing a Commercial Pilot license, and that will typically cost $130~$150 per hour to rent. Instruction fee is in the region of $45 to 65/hour, depending on the type of flight and instructor required. You can minimize the costs of “ground school” by studying the books by yourself as much as possible and turning up to each lesson well prepared.

For a reasonably realistic working budget you should consider airplane and instructor time, add approximately $500 for books and materials and $150~$300 for a headset (you’ll probably want your own) and charts, and about $500 for the FAA exam fees, paid to the examiner. The fess and costs of training is “pay as you go” so, the costs are spread over the time you take to complete your license, so typically expect to be paying this total over eight to twelve months. Budget for a regular monthly outgoing based on the amount you can afford, and schedule your flight time limited by that and what your lifestyle will allow. Look on this as a journey, rather than a single achievement, as you’ll presumably want to continue flying after you have been awarded your pilot certificate.
