Commercial pilot license

A commercial pilot's license is a permit that lets a person fly a plane for money. It's like being a professional airplane driver!

Before someone can get their commercial pilot's license, they need to have a private pilot's license and a certain amount of flight experience. They also have to pass some tests to show they understand all the rules and safety procedures for flying.

Once they've done all that, they can start training to be a commercial pilot. This means learning how to fly bigger planes and how to deal with emergencies that might happen while flying. They also have to get experience in flying in different weather conditions and at night.

Finally, they have to take another test to prove that they are ready to be a commercial pilot. If they pass, they can start to work for airlines, delivering goods, or doing other jobs that involve flying planes.
