Live Weather Cam at PFC

(Effective February 15 2007)

The minimum requirements for a Commercial Licence are 100 hours of pilot in command time and 200 hours total flight time.  Students will generally have accumulated approximately 55 hours total flight time (40 hours dual and 15 hours solo) in the completion of their private course.  The commercial course requires an additional 65 hours of flight instruction ( 35 hours dual and 30 hours solo) beyond the issue of the PPL.  The remainder of the required flight time can be made up as either dual or solo time as required.  Up to 10 of the 200 hours can be simulator time and the PFC program utilizes 3 hours in the 2007 Al Sim FTD.  The Transport Canada written examination must be completed prior to the flight test.  The groundschool is 80 hours.
