FWIW none of these things are actual commercial flight regulations. In particular, it's quite possible (though I'm guessing uncommon) to get a commercial license without an IFR, and it's definitely very common to run single-engine, single-pilot operations with plain vanilla instruments (avionics).
I'm not familiar with air transport regulations, however, and some of these things may apply there.
- pc86 11y agoYou are correct. 14 CFR 61.133 (b)(1) states:[0] A person who applies for a commercial pilot certificate with an airplane category or powered-lift category rating and does not hold an instrument rating in the same category and class will be issued a commercial pilot certificate that contains the limitation, “The carriage of passengers for hire in (airplanes) (powered-lifts) on cross-country flights in excess of 50 nautical miles or at night is prohibited.” So you can technically get a commercial license without an instrument rating, but you won't be able to get a job until you do. My guess is it happens only in that someone is taking the courses for both and just happens to finish the commercial part first. In practice though I've never heard anyone who did that.
