Your Commercial Pilot License Multi Engine
To begin the Commercial Pilot License, however, you must meet some requirements. Thus, one must have at least a Private Pilot License (PPL), as well as have flown 150 hours, have a Night Rating (it is also possible to integrate this into the CPL training) and be Medical Class I approved.
If these requirements are met then you can begin CPL training. Under the guidance of one of our experienced flight instructors, you will learn instrument flying and navigation, among other things. You will be prepared for your own Commercial Pilot License in a minimum of 25 hours (including at least 5 hours in a simulator).
During the MEP version of this course, you will learn to fly in a DV-20 and a DA42 Twinstar (twin-engine aircraft).

CPL-MEP Theory
In addition to learning to fly commercially, of course, you must also take the necessary theory classes to obtain your CPL-MEP pilot’s license.
The theory will be entirely computer-based training.
Medical Examination
No pilot can fly and obtain his CPL without being medically examined since good health is an important requirement in aviation.
At Wings over Holland, we recommend that you get your Class II Medical Examination at Aeglia. This medical center is at Lelystad Airport so is nearby for anyone who wants to get their pilot’s license with us.
