Whether pursuing leisure or a career- the PPL is your first step. Starting in a single-engine airplane, this stage of training focuses on the fundamentals and sets the foundation as a pilot.
Next, you will add an instrument rating that allows a pilot to fly under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and in all kinds of weather [in the clouds].
Next, is the commercial certificate. This occurs at about 250 hours into your flight training. Ultimately this cert allows you to legally be paid to fly.
Adding a Multi-Engine rating to the Commercial Pilot certificate is the final step before building experience to meet hiring minimums for charter companies and airlines.
