Hi everybody,
Well, I have my commercial checkride scheduled for wednesday. One problem......for my solo long
cross country (300 total, 250 one way, 3 stops) I brought my wife along and logged it in my log
book as both of us in the airplane. That was a stupid mistake because the trip is supposed to be
"solo" so even if she doesnt even know what the wings do it was not technically "solo." So now I'm
in a bind because I dont want to spend the money to do another long cross country. I've decided
I will talk to the examiner about the situation and tell him that she was in the airplane but not
in my logbook (I will cross her name out of the logbook). Any ideas on this wonderful technicality? I've talked to numerous pilots who have taken people with them on the long cross country (who REALLY flies that far solo, you know you've done it too!!!) and just didnt mention anyone in the plane in the logbook. I don't see anything wrong with crossing her name out, telling the examiner about it and letting him decide because everyone knows it was really solo and the point of the trip was met.
