Filing Flight Plan
Hello,
This is my first time posting in these forums. Happy to join the community.
BLUF: Can you abreviate the requirements for a fixed-wing commercial add-on if you already posses a rotary-wing commercial?
Background: I'm an Army aviator with a commercial rotary-wing certificate currently pursuing a fixed wing rating. I have 1,100 hours in Kiowa Warriors and about 90 hours in Cessnas and Cherokees (the war in injuries caused a few interuptions in training). I've fulfill the requirements for a private pilot certificate. Since this is a type rating transition, is it possible to go straight for the Commericial certificate or must I have the 100 hours of PIC time in an airplane to do it? I've seen similar questions in other threads that seem to indicate yes, but not seeing a clear answer. Thoughts?
