Cross country
Asked by: Ops-center 4126 views FAA Regulations, General Aviation, Student Pilot
I am working with a student who is also a friend and as a cfi have a question about a situation. Normally as an independent instructor I still follow the Jep syllabus as I light the way it is laid out and builds upon itself. I have a friend who was taking lessons from another instructor a couple of years ago but did not finish after soloing, so I trying to help him finish up. He is getting ready to solo now and has no problems flying the aircraft. My question is, normally I teach the cross country portion near the end as most syllabus have it but I am going to pick up a new aircraft several hours away from our location and was wondering what the general consensus is on using the ferry flight home as his 3 hours of xcountry instruction and 100 mi plus xcountry? Does a cross country have to return to the starting point for training purposes? Is there an actual FAA order of events or is it instructor discretion?
