Commercial Pilot License

Firstly, let’s talk about Commercial Pilot License, more specifically 14DAYPILOT Flight Academy’s Commercial Pilot License. The Commercial Pilot License is a pilot license that allows you to earn money from your work as a pilot such as becoming a mainline pilot, cargo pilot, etc.

Without your Commercial Pilot License, you will not be allowed to work in an airline, but, without a Private Pilot License, you will not be allowed to undergo the flight trainings required for you to obtain your Commercial Pilot License.

Upon completion of the 14DAYPILOT Flight Academy 5 Day Accelerated Commercial Pilot Program to obtain your Commercial Pilot License (CPL) approved by the FAA, you will be able to charge money for services and you are able to act as pilot in command.

This license allows you to find a career in a Commercial Airline company, either domestic or international, charter companies or corporates. In the 14DAYPILOT Flight Academy 5 day CPL program, you will be trained to become a safe and proficient pilot, along with training to pass for your ACS requirement in within 5 days.

Becoming a pilot with glasses

Yes, you are allowed to become a commercial pilot with glasses, but there are some regulations that you are required to follow. Of course, the requirements varies from one country to another and you should contact your local Authorised Medical Examiner in case you haven’t in order to obtain more information on the requirements of the country in which you will be undergoing your accelerated flight trainings in.

There are, of course, some general rules and regulations that all pilots must follow, no matter what country you are in. These include the rule that all pilots that are visually impaired must carry a spare pair of glasses in case the one you are currently using breaks.

Pilots are also not allowed to wear polarised glasses or sunglasses and Bifocal contact lenses cannot be used during flight trainings or during any situations in which you are flying an aircraft. For the Medical Third Class examination, you are required to have distant vision of 20/40 or better in each eye separately, with or without correction, and have near vision of 20/40 or better as measured at a distance of 410 mm.
