Commercial solo cross-country requirements.

[Mikerohren]

Hello guys, I am a little concerned, I flew my solo cross-country today and my ending time was 5.9hrs... I flew from kprc-kinw-kdro-kprc. The leg from Durango to Prescott was 292nm, someone told that the cross-country has to be 6hrs total solo cross-country and basically I will have to do the flight over... This can't be true right?

Do you own a Far/Aim, soon to be commercial pilot?

There is no time in the regulation.

61.129 (4)(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.”

Shame on your instructor.

Edit. Wait and you for not knowing or knowing where to look for that matter. Especially, if you plan on being a commercial pilot

Unless this is some 141 thing I'm unaware of, there is no time requirement

Might be a riddle rule, honestly. Who knows

I read that FAR, and it was a another student not my instructor that told me that, I just wanted to double check...

Call your instructor. I am unfamiliar with 141 and your schools syllabus.

The 61 reg does not stipulate a time requirement.

Lots of good information here from the members.

However, after going through a few check rides and especially the CFI training and ride that I took, apparently examiner's pet peeve is, "My instructor told me or I was taught" They hate that.

Look it up, know it, and prove it. Never attempt to get by with the aforementioned.

Yep, turns out I will have to do a short cross-country about an hour total solo to satisfy some rule...

Whoever told you that is at home laughing right now.

It's the block time requirement for the 141 course lesson that covers the part 61 long XC requirements.

Gotcha,
