I am trying to figure out the certifications/ratings that are required for where I want to be, and I have a question about the minimum hours required under part 61. The below was taken from AOPA's website:
Similarly, does the total 250 hours required for a CPL include total hours flown from PPL to CPL, or is this 250 in addition to what was flown prior to CPL?
I hope this makes sense. Just trying to figure out the minimum I can expect to pay for training. Any advice or guidance on anything or everything is appreciated. The best guidance I received so far is from my dad - don't crash.
- At least 50 hours of cross-country flight time as pilot in command. At least 10 of these hours must be in airplanes for an instrument-airplane rating.
- A total of 40 hours of actual or simulated instrument time on the areas of operation listed in 61.65(c).
- At least 15 hours of instrument flight training from an authorized instructor in the aircraft category for the instrument rating sought.
