Commercial Aeronautical Experience: 61.129(a)
Asked by: K S 4379 views Commercial Pilot, FAA Regulations
Hi, I'm working to finish up my commercial certificate and have a specific question about 61.129(a)...
- 61.129(a)(4)(ii) requires "5 hours in night VFR conditions with 10 takeoffs and 10 landings [...]"
- 61.129(a)(3)(iv) requires "one 2-hour cross country flight in a single engine airplane in nighttime conditions [...]"
If, on the 2-hour cross country flight in nighttime conditions, I am current in the airplane and performing the duties of PIC (while also receiving dual), will those 2 hours count towards the required "5 hours in night VFR conditions"? Thanks - really appreciate any insight! I know there are a few legal opinions around the edges but none seem to directly address my question.
