  • You've never met Corey before but he's not only a top guy but a great pilot too! In this flight we knock out the 100NM VFR day cross country requirement for his commercial license, and I ask him a few questions along the way.
    Enjoy the flight!

    What would be the advantage of getting a commercial rating before an IFR rating? I didn't know you could skip over IFR.

    • @LewDixAviation
      @LewDixAviation  Před 5 lety +1

      You could in theory start making money sooner, but remember that without in instrument rating you can't take passengers beyond 50nm or fly them at night. You're restricted to VFR obviously which causes a lot of flight planning issues if visibility or clouds are low. I'd suggest getting the instrument rating first then commercial. You have to build the 250 hours for commercial anyway, why not get your instrument rating in those hours!

    Thanks for your videos. Entertaining and instructive. Thank you. I do have a question though. I am currently in the process of getting my private and after my instrument. I am not necessarily interested in flying for an airlines or really get paid for that matter, but I am planning on flying for my business that I own to see clients around the nation. Is there any benefit of getting my commercial if I am not necessarily planning on getting paid to take passengers places?

    • @LewDixAviation
      @LewDixAviation  Před 5 lety +1

      Hey man. I’m glad you enjoy my videos! So, if you are flying yourself around to see clients there is not much need for a commercial certificate. If you are going to fly clients around and charge for it then you would need to get your commercial. But it sounds like you’re not going to do that.
