If you want to commercial under part 141 the basic minimum requirement
in FAA is 120 hours of dual given out of which atleast 55 hours should be on the commercial areas of operation . I think 30% out of the 55 hours can be done on a sim .

Check the FAR aim under section 141 for more info

@Chester2005: Thank you for the hours.

@Pilotwhite: i follow a cessna kit provided by the school was just getting curious about what i had to end up with so i dont have to do a 100nmx-country for an extra 0.1hrs of x-country needed at the end according to the FARs.

@cyrilroy: Thank you too for the info

As an FAA CPL candidate, a copy of FAR/AIM should be an essential part of your equipment. You will be required to be familiar with it and will likely come up in the oral exam.

I don't think I have ever seen an FAA CPL/ATPL NOT have one permanently to hand.
