The Commercial Pilot Certificate (CPL) qualifies pilots to be financially compensated for piloting an aircraft. CPL is the key to earn money by either flying for hire or instructing new pilots. While working on the CPL you will fine tune your flying skills to the highest standards.
CPL can be obtained without having instrument rating (IR) but the limitations would render it useless.
