Flying in a mix of uncontrolled and controlled airspace is an excellent opportunity for aspiring commercial pilots, here’s why

In the later part like a cross country stage is where a trainee flies by himself and learns everything w.r.t. controlled airspace. Because by that stage he is already familiar with all the procedures w.r.t. flying so this time being the best for him to fly at different controlled airports and get the right experience. This provides real-world experience and prepares you for your future career.
