commercial night cross country
Asked by: tim ribble 6254 views Commercial Pilot, FAA Regulations
For the required aeronautical experience for a commercial rating, 61.129(a)(3)(iv) requires a 2-hour nighttime cross country. Is it required that an instructor be on-board for this flight or can it be performed solo? I've had different responses from different instructors. What aids in the confusion is that the next requirement in para (v) requires 3 hours in preparation for the practical and specifically mentions "with an authorized instructor". Under 61.1(b) states flight training means received from an authorized instructor. It was pointed out that 61.129(a)(3) says 20 hours of training, not specifically "flight training". I'm confused!!!
