Question

Roughly how much does it cost to train for a commercial pilot's licence?

Answer 1

For a "Frozen" ATPL in the UK (ie CPL, multi engine rating, instrument rating and MCC course + groundschool) - you're looking at about 65k at a good school.

A CPL on its own doesn't actually qualify you to do much.  It's the ATPL (Airline Transport Pilots Licence) that enables you to fly airliners.

Answer 2

In the u.k it would be about 30,000 - 40,000 pounds., maybe more...   still no guarantee of a job at the end of it...

Answer 3

First, there's no such thing as a pilot's 'license'.  It's a 'Certificate'.  It's only a 'license' to learn.

That being said, figure $8k for Private, another $7.5K for instrument rating, then another $10 to $15k for commercial, Multi engine rating will run another $5k to $8K.

Answer 4

Do you have your privates pilot license yet? Or is this from knowing nothing about flying to having a commercial pilots licence?

Answer 5

60k GBP
