Private pilot requirements – part 61
Asked by: Stew Dent Pilot 2518 views FAA Regulations, Private Pilot, Student Pilot
Hello -
Question on the private pilot requirements that I pasted below - (my question below the pasted section)
- 3 hours of cross country flight training in a single engine airplane;
- 3 hours of night flight training in a single engine airplane, that includes at least:
a) 1 cross country flight of over 100 nm total distance; and
b) 10 T/O’s and 10 landings to a full stop with each involving a flight in the traffic pattern at an airport.
Basically - can items 1 and 2 count for eachother in the cross country category? I did a daytime cross country that covered 2.4 hours, and then separately did my 100nm night XC, which took 1.4. Do I still need .6 of day XC, or did the night hours count for that?
