What do I need to do to become a commercial airline pilot?
Because there are hundreds of commercial airlines operating worldwide, we research the requirements for you. The first requirement is to speak, listen, and communicate proficiently in English for the reason that English is the official language of aviation. Consequently, you will need strong English skills to complete your commercial flight training program. This is true no matter where you train.
How many flight hours do I need to be hired?
Once your official flight training ends, you will have to log additional flight hours to become a commercial airline pilot. Additionally, these flight hour requirements vary from county to country and from airline to airline. For example, in the United States, the FAA requires 1500 hours. However, Colombia only requires 250 hours.
