    Commercial sim time requirements are confusing. Can somehow who got a commercial pilot cert with sim time help out?

    Are you sure? I'm getting conflicting answers everywhere I researched online. The ONLY way to get a clear answer here is if someone who got a commercial cert with sim time can explain. 61.129a deals with commercial aeronautical experience. So your saying my 15 hours sim time in private and 20...

    Commercial sim time requirements are confusing. Can somehow who got a commercial pilot cert with sim time help out?

    Ok. I've read all the regs. Let me get this right. So the simulated instrument during private phase doesn't count for instrument time for instrument rating. The Sim time during private doesn't count for instrument rating. Does it count for commercial rating then? It's not very specific in the...

    I need help. I want to get to 250 hours as efficiently as possible.

    I'm sorry..but I don't think spending over 50 grand for a plane to build time is a good idea now. I'd love to be a plane owner, but certainly not a cheap or old one. Besides, my fear is I won't be able to sell it. But I haven't done this. That's why I would like if someone makes a suggestion...

    Look. I'm just a private pilot. I have no information beyond that. Believe me I've read 61, it's still confusing. When you say block time, you mean rent a plane for a certain amount of days or weeks? Where do I find such a person? What's the cost? Also, I haven't flown 150's before. How did...

    I need help. I want to get to 250 hours as efficiently as possible.

    Do you have a certain guideline of hours I can follow to get to 250 and by the time I have 250, I do commercial checkride? I have 107 hours and 10 hours PIC. I need my instrument. Instrument requires 50 hours XC PIC. Since I only have 5.2, and since I can log PIC while training with an...

    I need help. I want to get to 250 hours as efficiently as possible.

    I'm now so confused. My school has a program of 30 hours aircraft 20 hours sim to get IFR. But I don't think all those will be XC right so id need to build some time here? What I calculated is, to do the 50 hour program for IFR at a cost of $12,550, which puts me at 157 hours. Then do their...

    I need help. I want to get to 250 hours as efficiently as possible.

    Hi. I have 107 hours, 10 of which are PIC and 5.2XC PIC. I'm already a private pilot and looking to get Instrument, Commercial, and CFI, along with Multi engine possibly. Here is my issue though. I need 44.8 hours more XC PIC to qualify for the 50 hours XC PIC needed to get instrument rated. I...
