Often referred to as a commercial pilot license, this certification allows you to be compensated for flying in roles such as charter, corporate, cargo, or instruction.
At Beyond Aviation, we make that journey exciting, rewarding, and relevant. Training for your commercial license means mastering precision flying, complex maneuvers, and professional-level systems management.
This phase of training prepares you to earn your commercial pilot certificate in New Jersey and transition into paid flying roles.
This certification allows you to be compensated for flying, opening opportunities in:
Beyond Aviation’s commercial pilot certificate training in New Jersey focuses on advanced maneuvers, precision flying, and real-world application.
*Three (3) hours of flight training must be conducted within the 2 calendar months preceding the test
In 2018, the FAA updated the commercial pilot requirements, allowing applicants to train in Technically Advanced Aircraft (TAA) instead of older “complex” airplanes.
A TAA includes:
Primary Flight Display (PFD): continuously visible electronic instruments
Multifunction Display (MFD): moving-map GPS navigation with aircraft position
Two-axis autopilot integrated with heading/navigation guidance
Beyond Aviation’s Cirrus SR20 and other glass-cockpit aircraft meet these TAA standards, ensuring your training reflects the technology you’ll use as a professional pilot.
Commercial pilots oversee the professional operation of aircraft for passengers, cargo, or specialized missions. Many start their careers as Certified Flight Instructors (CFIs), building experience before moving on to airlines, charter operations, or corporate flying.
Instead of training in aging retractable-gear airplanes, Beyond Aviation students train in Technically Advanced Aircraft like the Cirrus SR20, equipped with cutting-edge avionics and autopilot systems. This ensures your training is more modern, relevant, and aligned with professional aviation technology.
Most students complete training in 6–8 months, depending on how often they fly and their total time when starting. Consistent flying and simulator practice help accelerate progress.
Graduates often move directly into:
Flight instruction (CFI/CFII/MEI)
Charter and air taxi operations
Aerial survey, agriculture, or photography
Corporate or regional airline training programs
Earnings depend on experience and the type of flying. Entry-level pilots may earn $25,000–$40,000, while experienced corporate and airline pilots can earn well into six figures. The FAA projects strong job growth for professional aviators nationwide.
