Commercial Rating

Asked by: 2175 views Instrument Rating, Private Pilot

Hello everyone,

I am a private pilot wth my instrument rating. I also have over 700hrs and I also meet the cross country time for my commercial rating minus the 300nm cross country. Am I safe to assume that all I will need to do it complete my long cross country and learn the commercial manuevers to finish my commercial rating?

Thank you!

    You need to red 61.129. There are a few more requirements, like 2 2-hour dual XC flights, some night requirements and complex training requirements you will have to meet. Any CFI should be able to walk you through it.
