Question about an x/c

Nah I used to live in Tulsa. I did a flight from RVS to ADM and my student said we were doing 35 mph, I told him to wake me up when we get there.

So the first leg was 259, what was the second one?

Three airports is three landings. Did you jump out of the airplane?

so do you just happen to be in the air?
check your logbook bud, unless you're doing pattern work, you should always have one more airport than landing

and he said the flight was 259 total with a stop along the way, so it wouldnt work

what about the return airport, does that count for a landing?

yep, if its done in the same day i presume.

now that would be a total of four tho
ktki kact kcvb ktki

4 airports (one a repeat) and three landings

see, ive always logged it where if i shut down, it's a new flight. im guessing for the purpose of the comm XC this would be different?
 
It wasn't in the same day... damn.

I went direct CVB TKI on the way home though. So it was a total of 3 landings overall
 
From the old Part 61 FAQs:

QUESTION: Can the solo experience as a student pilot be used to be eligible for the private pilot certificate requirements also be used for commercial requirements if they meet those as required by § 61.129(a)(4)?

ANSWER: Ref. § 61.123(e)(1) and (f); No. Like the dual training, the solo (training) for the private certificate applies to that certificate only. An applicant who FIRST holds a Private Pilot Certificate could use post private pilot certificate aeronautical experience that meets requirements of § 61.129(a)(4) acquired before formally starting commercial training as long as it is documented in a logbook or training record and the aeronautical experience was actually solo. Yes, the time has to be actually solo and it has to be aeronautical experience gained after first earning a private pilot certificate. No, the applicant may not have another pilot or non-pilot person on board. It has to be solo. Other than this situation, I can’t think of any other situation where the aeronautical experience would be creditable and could count toward the commercial pilot aeronautical experience.

but not the same flight


damn, your CFI let you do that?

our school limits students to 150nm from home base.

and he signed you off for two days of flying?

weird

First and foremost, this thread has gotten convoluted, just know you CFI is right and listen to him.

It doesn't matter that your leg was not 250 all in one shot.

-------

(A)Most CFIs won't send a student out so far but yes you can double dip, under 61.
(B)Forget all that instrument talk.
(C) Listen to your instructor, he sounds like he knows what he is talking about it, at least a lot more that what has been said here.

I think you've misread a lot of this

For the bold, I don't believe he is. And according to what TGrayson pulled up, he wouldnt be able to as a Student.

He only made two stops, that right there goes against this

(i) One cross-country flight of not less than 300 nautical miles total
distance, with landings at a minimum of three points, one of which is a
straight-line distance of at least 250 nautical miles from the original
departure point. However, if this requirement is being met in Hawaii, the
longest segment need only have a straight-line distance of at least 150
nautical miles; and

Just because I don't hold a CFI rating doesn't mean i'm out of my "element."

Thanks man.

I'll just listen to him :nana2:
 
Ok,

300nm total, you must get at least 250nm from home, with 3 "points," must be solo, and according to the three CFIs and one DPE that I asked, it can be an overnight experience.
