I am a student pilot with about 60 hours starting out on x-country work
right now. I recently bought a C182 Skylane and decided to keep it at an
airport that is 18 NM from my training airport for the simple reason that
the monthly cost of the hanger rental was $155 cheaper. I asked my CFI to
let me know if I could use that aiport as the satellite airport so I could
fly solo from the satellite airport to my training airport, pick up my
CFI,
do my dual/solo training and then bring the 182 back to its home. My CFI
informed me that the regs require that I leave and come back to the
primary
training airport, so either I move my plane to his aiport or use one of
the
flight schools airplanes to do my trianing.

He also presented an option, that he would drive in his car to my C182's
airport, then I fly dual from there to the primary training aiport, drop
him
there and then do my x-country or other things, then pick him up again and
take him to my plane's airport, from where he would drive back to the
training airport...ad nauseum....

This whole scenario sounds absurd and illogical to me. I do have the
option
of switching flight schools to where my plane is located. I know a lot of
people in this forum have a very in-depth knowledge of the regs.... please
advise what would be the best course of action under this scenario.

Thank you.

Robbie, ask your instructor to show you the fars, if he cannot and still
refuses to fly with you out of that airport dump him and go with someone
local will save you money & time in the long run.

When I did my private, all that was required for me to solo out of another
airport is my instructor to do a flight from 1 airport to the other land and
fly back and endorsed me for another airport. It dont have to be your
primarry instructor either I think it has to be within 25 NM. If I am wrong
someone please correct me thanks.
