That depends on the experience, and the aircraft. Flight experience in
a Cessna 152 will not necessarily be of any use in flying a 747 or a
SR-71.


The lady in question has a commercial license, which implies more
experience than noodling around in a 152.


Commercial airplane rating requires at least 10 hours training in retracts,
controllable pitch prop, or be turbine powered. So it can't be completed
using just a Cessna 150/152. You need some training in something like a
Cessna 172RG or R182, at a minimum.
