Commercial Practical Requirement
Asked by: Matthew Drooyan 3527 views Aircraft Systems, Commercial Pilot, FAA Regulations
Is there a requirement that the entire commercial practical needs to be taken with a complex airplane? I noticed that the PTS requires the use of a complex airplane "for the performance of takeoffs, landings and appropriate emergency procedures" - would this imply the rest of the test (i.e. performance manuevers) could be done in a non-complex SEL airplane? What's confusing me a bit is that the PTS lays out the requirement for a complex airplane but FAR 61.45 does not....I'm just trying to get sense of what you would have your typical commercial students do.
Thanks!
Matt
