Answer 1

A commercial pilot hods a Commercial Pilot Certificate.

A Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) or, in the United States, a Commercial Pilot Certificate, is a qualification that permits the holder to act as the pilot of an aircraft for remuneration. The basic requirements to obtain the licence and the privileges it confers are agreed internationally by International Civil Aviation Organization, ICAO, however the actual implementation varies quite widely from country to country. According to ICAO, it is obtained by successfully completing a course of flight training, passing a number of theory exams, and successfully demonstrating flying skills to an examiner during a flight test or checkride.

Different types of CPL are issued for the major categories of aircraft: airplanes/aeroplanes; helicopters; gyroplanes; balloons; airships.

A licence will contain a number of sub-qualifications or ratings. These specify in more detail the actual privileges of the licence, including the types of aircraft that can be flown, whether flight under Instrument Flight Rules is allowed, and whether instructing and examining of trainee pilots can be done.
