Question of Location...

No, you are correct. But maybe the CFI feels uncomfortable about signing
him
off to do that for whatever reason.

If he's willing (i) to sign you off for unsupervised and (ii) to sign you
off to your home field, then logically there should be no reason to not
allow you to base yourself there. It's certainly not in the regs.


I specifically asked him that question. He does not have a problem if I
go
from his home field to my plane's home field, but not the other way round.
He made some reference to part 61 and I have been scouring it ever since
and
have found nothing specific. My CFI had also alluded to some FBO policy

"Err, umh, err, ahhh... it's just policy." Right. I wouldn't be shocked if
it's in their insurance but I'd make them prove it. I'd also take a ride
with the FBO at your home base and see how they feel. If you're where you're
at, they might be able to sign you off pretty quickly and that would solve
your problem. Besides, it's probably worth your building a relationship with
them.
