what education does a commerical pilot need ?

Answer 1

a BA or BS in Aeronautical Engineering will be most helpful in securing a good job when you finish the training. A Masters of Business Administration will speed you on your way to cooperate hierarchy.

Answer 2

If you are questioning what education a airline pilot needs, of course you need all of your flight training, but you also need a four year degree for the airlines to hire you.
The term commercial pilot does not mean what most think - ie. airline pilot. Comercial Pilot is a rating that you receive early on in your training after you get your private pilots and usually your instrument ratings.

Answer 3

There are colleges that have degrees in aviation, commercial pilot etc. They are quite expensive. In addition to regular tuition fees, you also have to pay for flight times...to the tune of $50,000-75,000 depending on the school. I have also read that even with the commercial pilots license it may be hard to get work in that capacity since there were so many layoffs, etc. after 9/11. Another way to get flight experience is through the military, but I wouldn't recommend that route myself.

Answer 4

For a commercial pilot? It helps to be able to tie your own shoes, but most of us have gone to slip-ons to get around that complication.
For an airline pilot? A four-year degree. The subject doesn't matter.

Answer 5

Do you mean like university education? None. Just your flight school and your ground school (and air time).

Answer 6

4 year college, major in whatever you want it doesn't matter as long as you finished college. They mostly care about your flying time and personality.
