The FAA Commercial Pilot License is a qualification that permits the holder to act as the pilot of an aircraft for remuneration and act as co-pilot (First Officer) in commercial air transportation, as pilot-in-command, co-pilot of any airplane engaged in operations other than commercial air transportation or as pilot-in-command in commercial air transportation of any single-pilot airplane.
The Commercial Pilot License training is usually one of the last steps in becoming a professional pilot.

The student will obtain the necessary aeronautical skills and experience necessary to meet the requirements for a Commercial Pilot License.
Towards the end of the course, you will have to demonstrate a sufficient level of theoretical knowledge at an FAA approved testing center in the form of a written test.
To pass the commercial pilot written examination you need to achieve a score of at least 70%, which is still a passing score. This test must be done before the Check Ride.
The final aeronautical knowledge and practical test is the checkride. It will be taken at the end of all the training and consist of an oral and practical exam.
