Why Hayland Farms?

The cost of Hayland Farms Flight Training’s Commercial Pilot course depends on your prior flight experience. The program is tailored to your current flight hours and proficiency to meet the requirements of FAR 61.129, which outlines the necessary flight experience for a Commercial Pilot Certificate. Here’s how the process works works:

Evaluation of Experience

Hayland will review your logbook and flight history to determine your total hours and specific flight experience

Based on this evaluation, they will design a training syllabus to cover gaps and ensure you meet the 250-hour requirement 

Customized Training Plan

If you already have substantial flight hours, you may require fewer training hours, reducing the overall cost.

For those with minimal hours, the program will include additional flight time and instruction to fulfill the requirements

Cost Efficiency

Customizing the program based on your experience prevents unnecessary repetition of flight hours and reduces expenses

Blending commercial training into the broader Professional Pilot Program can offer cost savings compared to completing each certification separately

Prerequisites for private pilot training:

First or Second Class Medical

Hold a private pilot certificate for airplanes with instrument airplane privileges

Passing scores (80% minimum) on all required written tests before completion of training

Meet the requirements of FAR 61.65 prior to applying for the Airman Certification Standard testing for the instrument rating. See Aeronautical Experience 61.65(d)

Be at least 18 years of age

Once you've met the hour requirements and mastered the maneuvers, pass the FAA Commercial Pilot check ride to earn your certificate
