CPL

A Commercial Pilot License is required before you can work for hire. It is a necessary license for any professional pilot and the basis for most other advanced training.

The Ottawa Flight College offers four vocational programs aimed at preparing students for a professional career in aviation:

The Algonquin College Aviation Management Program provides students with an Ontario College Diploma in General Arts and Sciences and the knowledge and skills to be a commercial pilot. In addition to the basic ground school and flight training, students will receive a wealth of aviation and business related knowledge and practical skills that will enhance their attractiveness to prospective employers.

The Professional Pilot Program is designed to graduate highly skilled pilots who are ready for the real world of commercial flight operations. It provides the base for continued professional specialization towards sea-plane or multi-engine IFR ratings.

The Ottawa Flight College is pleased to offer a number of vocational training and professional-development programs as well as recurrency and type checkouts. We also offer basic pilot training to amateur pilots.  Choose the program that most closely suits your needs.
