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 TAA but it was never logged per 61.129 in my logbook.
I also have more than 10 hours instrument but it wasn't logged under 61.127(b)(1) or 61.129 either.
What kind of instrument flying happens in commercial that 10 hours is required? Because I'm pretty sure I already have more than 10 hrs.
If my instructor retroactively logs Training per 61.129 in my previous instrument flights, will there be only 10 hrs required for training which includes 2hrs xc in night and day?
Combined those are 4 hrs, that means the last 6 hrs would be steep turns, slow flight, stalls, emergency descent, chandelles, lazy 8s, 8 on pylons, steep spirals, and accelerated stalls?
And then they ask for 10 hrs solo or with instructor which includes 300nm xc and 5 hrs vfr.
Now I already have 15 hrs night time as PIC.
And the 300nm could I do it now?
The confusion is that it says 10 hrs solo under items listed in 61.127(b)(1)
What does that mean? Am I supposed to do chandelles the whole way in the xc ??
Or is just normal xc? And after the xc which would take 4-5 hours, what do I do for the other 5 hrs? Practice commercial maenuevers on my own?
It's so complicated. And do I need to add 61.129 in my logbook remarks for my night vfr xc flights?
Can someone explain what they did?
