What’s Included in Part 141 Commercial Pilot Training?

To start your career as a paid commercial pilot, you’ll first need to receive a commercial pilot certificate. This certificate will allow you to accept jobs as a cargo pilot, airline pilot, charter pilot, flight instructor, and numerous other jobs in aviation. The sky is really the limit.

Part 141 training is designed for students seeking a career in aviation. The training involves completing a great deal of coursework, stage checks, written tests, and passing a final check ride. 

By choosing an accredited Part 141 flight school, you’re selecting a school with a structured program, certified by the FAA. 

Blue Line Aviation is a fully accredited Part 141 flight school ready to help a private pilot move up to a commercial pilot license in a minimum of 120 hours. At Blue Line, you’ll receive high-quality instruction, and the guidance needed to not just pass the test, but to launch an exciting career as a pilot.

Let's take a closer look at what's included in Part 141 training at Blue Line Aviation.
