Commercial pilots fly Cessnas all the time, including the small ones. Nobody said they don't; just that their experience tends to be broader than *just* Cessnas. |

Well, a commercial certificate means the holder has demonstrated a different level of piloting proficiency, passed a different written and is required to hold a different physical certificate. Not that private pilots can't be as proficient, but they are not required to be. Most would agree the instrument rating is more difficult to get than the commercial license, so long as the pilot can pass the physical. I needed a waiver for the physical (vision). My airplane is a business (ie point to point travel) tool, I simply don't need more than a private pilot certificate since neither the ariplane nor I are for hire. Cessna strawmen and annoying pilots are MX's strong points. It's been pretty clear for a long time he doesn't have much of a real life, spends lots of time in sim and offering his 'wisdom' here. |
