Commercial Rating Question
"Dane Spearing" wrote in message
... Do the two VRF cross country trips required for the commercial rating (2 hrs, 100 nm min, one day, one night) have to be dual? FAR 61.129(a)(3) seems to imply that it should be dual in the statement: "20 hours of training on the areas of operation listed in 61.127(b)(1) of this part that includes at least -- I assume that "training" implies dual. Is this a correct assumption? Yes. See 61.1b6 for the definition of "flight training". (The three main sources of official aviation definitions are FAR 1.1, FAR 61.1, and the AIM Pilot/Controller Glossary. Not all regulatory terms appear in any of those places; but most do, so they're good places to look first.) By the way, commercial privileges are granted by a new certificate, not a rating. The DE might care about that distinction. (I cross-posted this to rec.aviation.piloting, since it's not about IFR.) --Gary |
