Which of the following is not required for a trainee to become a commercial pilot?
-
Type rating
-
Valid medical
-
FRTOL
-
Student pilot's license
A
Correct answer
Explanation
A Type Rating is not required to obtain a CPL - it's an additional qualification needed only to fly specific complex or multi-engine aircraft beyond basic training. A CPL requires: 200 flight hours, valid Class 1 medical, FRTOL (radio license), and passing CPL theory and flight tests. Type ratings come later when aircraft-specific training is needed.
