The Commercial Pilot Certificate is the next step up from the private pilot level. It builds on what you learned as a private pilot, but requires a higher degree of proficiency necessary as a commercial pilot. The Commercial Pilot Certificate allows you to fly for hire, and the training you receive will make you a safer and more skilled aviator.
