Advantages

The Requirements

  • Hold a valid private pilot certificate or commercial rating
  • Have a valid 3rd Class Medical
  • Must be 17 years old
  • You must be able to read, speak, write, and understand the English Language
  • Completed and logged the appropriate ground and flight training for the multi engine rating.
  • Operate the aircraft to FAA Practical Test Standards (PTS)
