Pre-takeoff checklist
Okay, question about part 141 training requirements.
First off...some stuff from the FAR
Sec. D141.1
Appendix D to Part 141 - Commercial Pilot Certification Course
...
2. Eligibility for enrollment. A person must hold the following prior to enrolling in the flight portion of the commercial pilot certification course:
(a) At least a private pilot certificate
...
4. Flight training. (a) Each approved course must include at least the following flight training, as provided in this section and section No. 5 of this appendix, on the approved areas of operation listed in paragraph (d) of this section that are appropriate to the aircraft category and class rating for which the course applies:
(1) 120 hours of training if the course is for an airplane or powered-lift rating.
So...just as a theoretical...let's say I finish my PPL at minimums...non 141 so I have 40 total hours with 10 solo so I have 30 hours of training...would that training count towards that 120 hours...or would it be an aditional 120 hours...
On the same note... the Instrument requirements for part 141 read like this
4. Flight training. (a) Each approved course must include at least the following flight training on the approved areas of operation listed in paragraph (d) of this section, appropriate to the instrument-aircraft category and class rating for which the course applies:
(1) 35 hours of instrument training if the course is for an initial instrument rating.
(2) 15 hours of instrument training if the course is for an additional instrument rating.
So if I was going for my CMEL and CSEL would the 50 hours there also count towards the 120? If I was doing my instrument training concurrently?
Keep in mind I understand that the 120 hours has some other built in requirements that have to be met, I'm just trying to gage the ACTUAL minimum aircraft rental time...is it 120 + what I log getting my private or is it 120 + 35 + 15 + my private pilot time or is it just 120 total.
Thanks
