Approximately 80% of the subject matter for the Commercial Pilot Knowledge Exam comes from the Private Pilot Knowledge areas. You will be in a combined Private/Commercial program, where you will review the majority of the information you need to pass the Commercial Pilot Knowledge Exam. After the regular course is over on Saturday, you will spend Commercial Only time with our instructor, going over the Commercial Specific Knowledge areas. Constructing the class in this manner ensures that you will get very personal instruction going through the Commercial Pilot Exam Knowledge areas.
Class runs Saturday 8:00-6:00 and Sunday from 8:00-4:00.
Note: Commercial Specific information will be cover from 6:00 pm -7:30 pm Saturday.
The Commercial Pilot exam contains 100 questions. These questions are chosen from over 1000 questions in the exam database. Most of the questions in the FAA Commercial test database are shared with the Private Pilot (Most of which you have probably forgotten) with some additional questions, and steps. You are allowed 3 hours to complete the exam.
Topics covered include:
• Federal Aviation Regulations for Commercial Operations
• Aerodynamics and Aircraft Operations
• Navigation
• Aircraft Instruments
• Aeronautical Information Manual
• Aircraft Performance for Commercial Operations
• Weight and Balance Theory
• Low and High Weather Theory, Reports and Forecasts
Sample Question from the Test
You need to shift cargo from the rear cargo area to the front cargo area for a distance of 104 inches. The gross weight of the aircraft is 3600 lbs. How much weight would be needed to change from 94 inches to 92 inches?
Answer:
Here’s how to do it. Multiply the distance shifted by the weight shifted, then divide this by the total weight of the aircraft. The result will be the distance the CG changes. Just make the substitutions and you got it!!.
I really enjoyed his class and passed the written test the same day class was over (really appreciate that he worked out the test arrangement with Nice Air too.) I will definitely highly recommend the course to other student pilots - Adrian
