Commercial Helicopter Add-on
Asked by: Tony Meconiates 3786 views Commercial Pilot, Helicopter
According to 61.129 (c) 3 & 4 - I need 20 hours of dual to include 5 hours instrument, 2 hour day XC, 2 hour night XC, 3 point XC, and 5 hours night VFR.
My background is as follows - commercial single, multi and instrument with private rotorcraft. I didn't need t get a private Helo as I could have gone straight to commercial but I decided I did not want to 35 hours of solo to knock out PIC requirement. in doing my, private, I did all my XC to commercial standards - 50 NM legs. Do I need t redo these XC to satisfy 61.129?
Also, with respect to the 5 hour instrument, 61.129 says I can perform in an aircraft In lieu of Helo? I have over 75 hours instrument time in airplanes, does this count?
Please help!
