COMMERCIAL COURSES
AIRPLANE SINGLE ENGINE LAND
Students who complete the commercial pilot training and earn a commercial pilot license will be ready to fly commercially as a pilot and can work as a corporate pilot, agricultural pilot, banner towing, pipeline patrol, traffic reporting, and more. This license is generally the starting point for a successful career in aviation. Many students continue to become flight instructors after program completion in order to build the flight time requirements for airline pilot careers. At Tex Air America students will learn to fly with industry pros who have decades of experience. This program is approved and conducted under FAR Part 141.

Course Information:
AIRPLANE SINGLE ENGINE LAND includes 250 hours of flight time as a pilot that consists of at least: 100 hours in powered aircraft, of which 50 hours must be in airplanes. 100 hours of pilot-in-command flight time, which includes at least 50 hours in airplanes; and 50 hours in cross-country flight of which at least 10 hours must be in airplanes.
DUAL FLIGHTS include 20 hours of training on the areas of operation listed in §61.127(b)(1) of this part that includes at least ten hours of instrument training using a view-limiting device including attitude instrument flying, partial panel skills, recovery from unusual flight attitudes, and intercepting and tracking navigational systems. Five hours of the 10 hours required on instrument training must be in a single engine airplane. 10 hours of training in an airplane that has a retractable landing gear, flaps, and a controllable pitch propeller, or is turbine-powered, or for an applicant seeking a single-engine seaplane rating, 10 hours of training in a seaplane that has flaps and a controllable pitch propeller. One 2-hour cross country flight in a single engine airplane in daytime conditions that consists of a total straight-line distance of more than 100 nautical miles from the original point of departure. One 2-hour cross country flight in a single engine airplane in nighttime conditions that consists of a total straight-line distance of more than 100 nautical miles from the original point of departure; and three hours in a single-engine airplane with an authorized instructor in preparation for the practical test within the preceding 2 calendar months from the month of the test.
SOLO FLIGHTS include ten hours of solo flight time in a single engine airplane or 10 hours of flight time performing the duties of pilot in command in a single engine airplane with an authorized instructor on board (either of which may be credited towards the flight time requirement), on the areas of operation that include one cross-country flight of not less than 300 nautical miles total distance, with landings at a minimum of three points, one of which is a straight-line distance of at least 250 nautical miles from the original departure point. However, if this requirement is being met in Hawaii, the longest segment need only have a straight-line distance of at least 150 nautical miles; and 5 hours in night VFR conditions with 10 takeoffs and 10 landings (with each landing involving a flight in the traffic pattern) at an airport with an operating control tower.
