==Procedure==
#'''Study for the CPL Exam:''' You can study on your own if you have a self-learning course or you can attend classes at a flying school (contact a flying school to work out the best way for you to complete the theory training for the CPL).
#'''CPL theory exam:''' The CPL examination (for both Aeroplane and Helicopter) is a 7 subject-part examination, that is delivered by PEXO. Three of the subject exams are common and only need to be passed once. However, you need to pass all the exams within a two-year period. If you already have your CPL and want to gain an additional category rating, you need to pass the remaining four category-specific subject exams. The pass marks for the CPL exams are 70%, except for the Flight Rules and Air Law exam where it is 80%.
#'''CPL Flight Training:''' Applicants must complete a course of flight training with a Part 141 or Part 142 operator. It includes basic general flying, as well as cross-country and instrument flying.

*an aeroplane certified for single-pilot operations with a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of more than 5700kg in regular public transport operations

To those who would like to fly as pilot-in-command or co-pilot in a multi-crew operation, aside from holding the appropriate aircraft rating, you are also required to complete an approved course of training in multi-crew cooperation.
