Ok Mr dpe so your saying despite the fact I have well over 10 hours TAA and simulated instrument# that now I need to do another 10 hours TAA and instrument for commercial? So really commercial is 30 hours. 10 hours TAA/Complex 10 hours instrument 10 hours solo. I'm already don't with the 10...

Your projecting. Stop it. I did the 300nm yesterday. Alone. You don't comprehend thr difference between someone writing things anonymously online vs doing something in reality. Your extremely one dimensional. How you are now is how you are in person. If you do something stupid or wrong,you...

Apparently that flight with your son doesn't count But just count it anyway. It's not like this can be checked. And to redo a 300nm flight which let's be honest for most people means 600nm, is brutal. Why would they want you to fly 300nm solo for commercial when your supposed to carry...

Regulitis absolutely defines me person perfectly

Im reading into it because I want to he as precise as possible. As clear as the FAA thinks they are when writing the regs, they most certainly are far from making it clear. This is why the best way for me to understand is if someone describes their experience and what they did, for example...

Ok so at my flight school, pretty much everyone is a student pilot and only a few are in for instrument training. Practically no one is in commercial. It makes me wish I went to an accelerated school due to these issues. None of my TAA flights were logged as TAA. Only 6.4 of my Instrument...

Ok. So one of my instructors today said that for the 10 hours of simulated instrument required for commercial 61.129(a)(3)(i) , that my Instrument training flights do NOT need to be logged and have "training per 61.129(a)(3)(i)" or something like that logged to count for the 10 hours of...

Ok I usually comprehend best from examples, detailed examples. If someone here got a PPL and then the IR, and proceeded to get the commercial, how many total hours did you do for your commercial training with or without instructor, and can you break down what flights those were and for what...

Ok so what about the 20 hours training in which 10 hours is instrument? You skipped that part? And what about 10 hours TAA/Complex? Did you skip that or did you do it? Like I said I have 10 hours+ in a G1000 but my instructor said it can only be logged if I fly thr G1000 under items listed id...

I hope everyone realizes I was being sarcastic and sort of eliciting this response

Hi. So I'm basically done with instrument training, but checkride is 38 days away. In the meantime, I want to start commercial, but there's some confusion in the regs. It says you need 10 hours instrument under 61.127(b)(1) and 10 hours in a TAA/Complex. I already have more than 10 hours in a...

Yes. I do. The left seat can collect simulated instrument time and xc time and Pic time but right seat can only get Pic time

Ok I get it now. I get it at all. I will perhaps not do much sim. In fact I may not do any more sim at all, and stick to a safety pilot soon to build real hours.

It's legalese. For all we know this only applies to rotorcraft. So everyone here with a commercial has done additional 10 hours IFR to get commercial? I'm guessing the simulated instrument during private counts towards the 40 hrs instrument needs?

Nothing. I'm considering doing just this. It's more headache free and less boring. Once I am comfortable enough I'll just get a safety pilot to finish my IFR requirements. I'm already putting 1 hour on average per day in doing the xc time, and all of them at night

No. I'm actually considering not doing the Sim It's boring and in the end I'm afraid I'll need to get those real flight hours anyway. I have about 18.5 sim hours. I think that's enough. And tbh I got 15 of those sim hours for free, with an instructor yes.

Because I need to be 100% certain. I don't want to get to 200 flight hours and have 50 sim hours for example only to be told my sim hours during my first days as a student pilot don't apply for commercials 50 hours. If I have an accurate understanding I can plan out a cost effective and...

So one or two guys any sim time counts. Ok. But. This would be so much simpler if only someone who used plenty of sim time to get commercial in the last rexent years, would explain how they go their commercial and how much sim time they applied and from which phases or training the sims were

We have autopilot. I use it often actually when building hours Really the simplest way is for a commercial pilot or beyond here to explain their experience. If you could explain how much sim time vs flight time you had when you got commercial, and from what phases of training thr sim time...

I have and it does meet the requirement. But the FAA regs are spelled in a very confusing legalese way
