CPL USA
To obtain a commercial pilot license (CPL), you have to be at least 18 years of age. There is no upper age restriction other than the ability to pass a class 2 medical exam. You must have logged at least 250 hours of flight time in your logbook. The CPL training course can be included in these 250 hours. There are no minimum training hours in the CPL course itself, but expect to spend at least 10-20 flight hours with your instructor as there are a few new maneuvers you need to learn. In addition to this, you have to complete at least 10 hours of training in a complex aircraft (an aircraft with retractable landing gear, flaps and variable pitch propeller).
You also have to pass a 100 question, multiple-choice, theoretical exam.
The flight examination (check ride) is conducted by an authorized examiner and comprises of an oral quizzing (typically one-to-two hours) and a flight test. The flight test is often broken into two flights; one flight in your regular training aircraft to demonstrate your general flying skills, and one in a complex aircraft to demonstrate your capability to safely fly a complex aircraft. If the whole flight test is conducted in a complex aircraft there is no need for two flights.
Cost pilot training for a fresh graduate will cost $35000 to $40000 per year in training institutes in the US.
