Private Pilot Certificate

With a private pilot certificate, you may fly in good weather conditions (called VFR or visual flight rules). You may carry passengers and baggage, but you may not fly for hire; operating expenses must be equally shared with your passengers.

Instrument Rating

With an instrument rating, you are able to fly according to instrument flight rules (IFR) — in other words, you are able to fly when the weather is poor.

Commercial Pilot Certificate

The commercial pilot certificate allows you to fly for hire as part of a Part 135 operation.

Multi-Engine Pilot Certificate

The multi-engine pilot certificate allows you to fly airplanes with more than one engine.
