I need some advice (proof), but cannot go into too much detail due to this being a public forum.
Our 141 Commercial syllabus, ASA Pilot Manual, has a total of 55 hours of dual flight instruction in the 120 hour course.
One of our students felt this was wrong and called the FSDO, hoping that the 55 hours could be cumulative from his private and instrument dual received.
The FSDO told him his was right.
This is not a "gray" area in my book and has left a few of my fellow CFIs scratching our heads.
Any help?
I don't believe we are wrong by following the syllabus, or by saying that the 55 hours is part of the commercial course and not a Total logged situation.
