being the pilot in command or the second pilot in non-commercial air traffic on a professional activity basis on aircraft, whose model is registered on the pilot's license
being the pilot in command in non-commercial air traffic on aircraft, whose model is registered on the pilot's license and which are admitted for a minimum crew containing one pilot (SPA Single Pilot Aircraft)
being the second pilot in commercial air traffic on aircraft, whose model is registered on the pilot's license (SPA Single Pilot Aircraft and MPA Multi Pilot Aircraft)

PPL(A) including night rating (if not available CPL(A) training will be extended for 5 lesson hours NVFR training)
150 flight lessons, 70 lesson hours of which PIC. 20 lesson hours PIC cross country flight including one flight whose flight route is more than 540 km (300 NM) whereby there are two intermediate stops until complete stop of engines

The distance learning course as well as the examination are structured into the following 14 subjects:

Air Law
Aircraft General Knowledge
Electronics
Powerplants
Instruments
Mass and Balance

Flight planning
Human Peformance

The distance learning course for the training of the CPL(A) is the most modern way for obtaining the Commercial Pilot License. You can start at any time.

The practical training is structured into two parts. Modul A is trained at the beginning, which includes 10 lesson hours of basic instrument flying. Within this module basic instructions on IR are trained. Afterwards, module B is trained, which is 15 lesson hours CPL(A) training of visual flight, whereby 5 lesson hours are operated on a complex aircraft (TB20). This aircraft type meets the requirements being a complex aircraft, these are having at least 4 seats, having a variable pitch propeller and a retractable landing gear. The practical examination is also taken on this aircraft type.
