The word PIC Flight is one of the aviation terminologies that pilot candidates who desire to get a commercial pilot license by finishing their pilot training will come across. To properly understand this phrase, it is essential to initiate with the PIC - Pilot in Command section. PIC stands for the pilot in command and is derived from the first letters of the English term. PIC flight becomes more understandable with this explanation. PIC A pilot-in-command flight is a type of flight in which the cadet is in charge of the aircraft.
Let's take a closer look at this term: the pilot-in-command is in charge of the aircraft's operations. The pilot in command is responsible for making all essential preparations, sending the flight plan, and safely transferring and controlling the aircraft from the departure point to the destination.
This is a very important stage that Individuals who want to get a commercial pilot license can use the pilot license they received after completing the PPL - Private Pilot License program to perform and enhance their skills.
Although many people regard it as a phase that must be performed fast, it is the most crucial phase in which you build your flying skills before instrument training. As a result, each hour should be planned not to be completed as quickly as possible, but to add new talents to your piloting abilities.
The minimum flying hours that must be completed after the PPL – Private Pilot License training are different when we look at the requirements in other training modules that must be completed after the PPL – Private Pilot License training. For example, before beginning Commercial Pilot License training, you must have a minimum of 100 hours.
With 10 PIC hours in PPL – Private Pilot License training and 1 PIC hour in Night VFR instruction, you'll need an additional 89 hours of flying to meet the 100-hour minimum requirement. Although the ICAO PART-FCL document specifies the minimum hours required to hold a commercial pilot certificate, calculating the amount of PIC hours might be difficult. Some other aspects of pilot training, if indicated in the training module document approved by the General Directorate of Civil Aviation, can be completed with the simulator. Even though simulator training is recorded in the pilot logbook, it is kept separate from actual flight hours.
Another prerequisite for acquiring a commercial pilot license is to have completed 200 hours of flight time in a real aircraft. As a result, you'll need to fly in addition to accomplish the requisite 200 flight hours.
Instrument training can be performed in a single-engine aircraft initially, then a multi-engine aircraft, or a multi-engine aircraft directly. Because the simulator is used for 30–35 hours of this Instrument training phase, the total time required may vary between 100 and 120 hours.
In light of this, when reviewing the instrument training package offers you receive from ATOs, pay close attention to the number of hours spent with the simulator as well as the cost of the training module. When making comparisons, remember to include additional flight fees as well as the simulator training expenditures. As a result, a precise cost comparison may be established. Otherwise, the simulator training you will receive will be included in the overall cost of your course as a hidden cost.
Depending on whether the instrument flight training is performed on a single-engine plane or a multi-engine plane, the minimum required hours vary.
For Single Engine Instrument Rating training must be completed in at least 50 hours of PIC, while for Multi-Engine Instrument Rating training must be completed in at least 70 hours of PIC flights.
To proceed, you must have a valid medical certificate, a valid type rating for the aircraft, and an apron card allowing you to enter the relevant airport. You should also carry your ICAO Level document with you if the ICAO Level is not registered in your pilot license.
PIC-Pilot in Command is the flight in which you improve your flight skills and experience after completing your PPL - Private Pilot License training. In these flights, you will perform as PIC - Pilot in Command, you will increase your flight skills, and prepare yourself for ME–IR–CPL trainings.
The experienced pilot who flies with you during your PIC - Pilot in Command flights is called a safety pilot.
Although you have not get IR - Instrument Rating Training yet, you can practice instrument flight under the supervision of an IR authorized instructor pilot during your PIC - Pilot in Command flights. It is a good opportunity for you to improve yourself before the instrument flight training.
The flights you will make as PIC - Pilot in Command are the most important part where you increase your flight knowledge and experience. Your license authorizes you to fly PIC 6 hours per day. The PIC flight phase should not be seen as a period that needs to be completed quickly, and you should make plans for every hour on how to increase your flight knowledge and experience.
Flights with Ultra Light category aircraft cannot be recorded as PIC flights in your flight logbook. For your PIC flights, you must fly with a minimum Light category aircraft.
You must have your PPL - Private Pilot License in order to perform your PIC - Pilot in Command flights. After that, you can perform your PIC flights for a maximum of 6 hours a day and a maximum of 6 consecutive calendar days.
It is enough to complete the 300 NM Long Cross Country flight once, which is required to be completed within the scope of the PIC - Pilot in Command flight.
There are different requirements in different modules of flight training for PIC - Pilot in Command flight. For example, you must have a minimum of 50 hours of PIC flight before you can start SEP IR training and a minimum of 70 hours of PIC flight before you can start MEP CR training. In order to start CPL training, you must have a minimum of 100 hours of PIC flight. Before the CPL Check Ride flight, you must have a total of 200 hours of flight with a minimum of 100 hours of PIC flight. Considering that the simulator may be used in some parts of the training, you may need to take some additional PIC flights to complete the 200 hours total flight hours before the CPL Checkride.
