Performing the duties of PIC
Asked by: ccwebb 6218 views Commercial Pilot, FAA Regulations, Flight Instructor
Here is a question of research for instructors:
When the commercial pilot requirements changed (2010, 2011?) and inserted this phrase to the solo requirements:
“…performing the duties of pilot in command in a single engine airplane with an authorized instructor on board”
What does this mean? What is allowed to be crossed over? ie: Can the 2 hours from the 100 NM Night Dual cross country count towards the 5 hours of solo (or “…performing the duties of pilot in command in a single engine airplane with an authorized instructor on board”)? Same question about the 10 take off and landings at a controlled tower.
What I am also looking for is any documentation, legal ruling, or AC speaking to this?
