 | | A commercial pilot in Jamaica today has job options in the niche air services or shuttles, such as Air Pak Express, Tara, Air Link, Tim Air, and Air Jamaica Express, and with the few multi-rich who own their own crafts. |
 | | For private pilots, medicals have to be done every two years; yearly for commercial pilots; and half-yearly for airline pilots in the commercial pilot category. |
 | | After the private licence is secured, it takes about 165 hours of flight time and another 100 ground school hours to qualify as a commercial pilot. |
