Can a private pilot get a multi-engine rating?
While a multi-engine rating can be added to a private pilot certificate, in most cases it makes more sense to wait until a pilot has a commercial pilot certificate and instrument rating as this will save the pilot a substantial amount of money in the long run.
Is multi-engine rating required for CPL?
Most of the airlines today prefer to recruit CPL holders who have a multi-engine rating. Armed with a multi-engine rating, you would have a definite advantage over single engine CPL holders in securing jobs with any airline.
Does airlines pay for type rating?
After getting the CPL, all pilots now have to pay for their own type-rating – either to an external trainer or to the airline which has hired them.

Can a private pilot fly IFR?
A pilot holding a Private Pilot License (PPL) must fly in VFR conditions. IFR stands for “Instrument Flight Rules” and allows a pilot who is Instrument Rated (IR) to operate an aircraft by relying almost solely on instruments. This allows the pilot to fly IFR.

Do you need an instrument rating for a commercial pilot certificate?
An Instrument rating is not a requirement for a Commercial Pilot Certificate. Not having one limits you to flying for hire or compensation to a 50 mile radius of your original departure airport. Most people who pursue a Commercial Pilot Certificate have an Instrument rating on their Private Pilot Certificate.
Do you need a certificate to be a commercial pilot?
If you want to be paid to fly in any capacity, a commercial pilot certificate is required. Training for the certificate takes a pilot back to the basics of airmanship, and away from the rigors of instrument training. A pilot must obtain ratings for each category and class of airplane she wishes to be paid to operate.
What happens after you get your private pilot’s license?
The commercial license is a typical next step after gaining your private pilot’s license. Whether or not you want to end up flying for a living, lots of people will get their commercial rating for either the experience, the (minor) insurance premium break, or just as an asset in the event they ever want to fly for hire.
