Is commercial checkride harder than instrument?
Is commercial checkride harder than instrument? But overall, yeah, Commercial is usually considered much easier than the Instrument, which is often described as the hardest rating, possibly except the CFI. I will say, though, that the Power-off 180 really causes a lot of pressure on people.

What is the hardest pilot license to get?
The airline transport pilot (ATP) is the most advanced pilot certificate one can obtain, and it's necessary for those who want to fly commercial airliners for a living. All commercial airlines now require a pilot applicant to have an ATP certificate.
