I have a friend who has well above 1500 hours under his belt. He's offered to teach me to fly since it's my passion. Long story short, I can't join a place to train properly for a career since I'm a single mother. I'm not willing to be away for the minimum 1-2 years in order to learn and do the internships to make a career out of flying so I deciding to learn recreationally. This being said, I asked my friend if he is certified and I'd be able to log my hours with him as my instructor. He said he only needs 250 hours to qualify as an instructor and I'd be ok to log my hours. This is why I'm writing. That doesn't sound right to me and I definitely don't want to waste money flying and loggin hours that won't count towards my licsenses when taking the examinations. So, the question is can I still log my training hours flying with an experienced pilot who isn't officially certified as an instructor?
