What is the minimum solo flight time required for a Commercial Helicopter License?

For obtaining a Commercial Helicopter License, Transport Canada mandates that a candidate must complete a minimum of 20 hours of solo flight time as part of their training. This requirement is designed to ensure that the pilot has sufficient experience flying independently, which is critical for developing the skills necessary for safe and effective helicopter operation in a commercial context. The solo flight time is part of a larger training program that includes dual flight training, typically performed under the supervision of an instructor, to prepare the pilot for the unique challenges of commercial flying.
