Thank you again. I'm absorbing all of your awesome videos on regulations. Smart pilots stay out of trouble by understanding and applying the rules of the sky.
Great video. Also find it hilarious that every time you say “literally” your British accent comes out for a few words then fades back out😂😂😂
*absolutely fantastic video and review, so very well explained :) I was going through all the reqs with my instructor the other day, and your video would have made things even easier for us. I've just started my Commercial training, and your video is one I will be saving and sharing for sure with other pilot friends. thank you!*
Todd you're the man; appreciate you sir!
These walkthroughs are perfect! CFI ride next week. Hurry and come out with the next video! Thanks for your precious time by the way! 👍
Good deal! Let me know how the practical test turns out, and good luck!!
i realize it is kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good site to watch new tv shows online ?

@Karter Quentin Thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D Appreciate it !
@Calvin Tristen you are welcome =)
Hello Todd. Is there any specific reg that mentions what you said about the FAA accepting the non-solo as solo time required in 61.129 (a)(4) even though there was a cfi on board, because of the insurance inconveniences you mentioned? Maybe you talked about it and I didn’t catch it. Thanks a lot for the great content !
Great work, thank you.
Thanks for the video! Can a student perform all of the solo the items listed under Part 4 with an authorized instructor as long as the student is PIC? (Long XC, night landings at towered airport, etc)
lmao 9:47 you almost broke you're cover
If you could answer 3 questions for me that’ll mean a lot. I’ve got all sorts of different answers from instructors, students and check pilots so that confused me.
hey sir you're absolutely right. This is indeed the most misunderstood reg. Both my
300NM and 5hrs at night was with an instructor on board so am
My CFI was onboard and I was performing PIC duties.
1. Am I supposed to just log the 300NM XC like a normal solo flight so there should be no dual
received right and the instructor can't sign my logbook right or should he?
2. What should I include in the remarks/notes section? Is writing “300 NM Solo XC performing
duties of a PIC" sufficient and correct even if it's dual?
3. In my CFis logbook will he log the flight as dual given or no?
Your response will be very appreciated sir
Good stuff
Hi Todd thanks for the videos and also for your book CFI instructor prep guid which is a perfect walk through for the hardest checkride. I have an interesting case where the student did a commercial cross country following 61.129(4)(i). Flying from HPN to BDR (less than 25nm) and then to BGR and back (each leg more than 250nm). If I read the reg he did everything required but since the first leg is not at least 50nm, does it still count as part of the XC? This video does quite clarify this specific case. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!😅
The answer to your question is found in this FAA Letter of Interpretation, 2nd and 3rd paragraph of page four. I have posted it here as well. www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/agc/practice_areas/regulations/interpretations/Data/interps/2009/Glenn_2009_Legal_Interpretation.pdf
Here is the paragraph that explains your question:
Additionally, you requested clarification about whether a "repositioning" flight can be used to change the original point of departure for calculating cross-country time. In your example, a pilot wishes to fly from Airport A to Airport B and back, but Airport B is not more than 50 nm from Airport B. To log cross-country time, the pilot flies from Airport A to Airport C as a discreet flight. The pilot then flies a separate flight from Airport C to Airport B, which is a straight-line distance of more than 50 nm, and from Airport B to Airport A. You ask whether the pilot may log cross-country time for the C-B-A flight to meet the aeronautical experience requirements under§§ 61.65(d), 61.129, or 61.159. In the context of meeting aeronautical experience requirements under§ 61.159, the controlling definition in § 61.1 (b )(3)(vi) does not require a landing but only a flight that is at least a straight-line distance of more than 50 nautical miles from the original point of departure. Therefore, your scenario does not apply to the§ 61.159 requirements. Regarding the §§ 61.65( d) and 61.129 requirements, unless the pilot is attempting to meet the aeronautical experience requirements for any pilot certificate with a rotorcraft category rating or an instrument-helicopter rating, the controlling definition of cross-country time is § 61.1 (b )(3)(ii). There is nothing in § 61.1 (b )(3)(ii) or previous FAA interpretations dictating how separate flights must be logged. Accordingly, the pilot may choose what is considered a discreet flight and what is merely a segment of a flight and then log that time appropriately when the flight is conducted. Section 61.1 (b )(3)(ii) requires that the flight include a landing at a point other than the point of departure. This definition does not contain a requirement that the first leg of the flight includes a landing that is more than 50 nm distant, but it does require that one point of landing is at least a straight-line distance of more than 50 nm from the original point of departure. See Legal Interpretation to E. Thomas Sisk (Mar. 18, 2008); Legal Interpretation to Alfred Tenuta, Jr. (Apr. 17, 1998). Accordingly, the pilot may log cross-country time for the C-B-A flight in your scenario if that flight is logged as a discreet flight. Moreover, if Airport A was more than 50 nm from Airport C, which is the original point of departure for the flight, the pilot may log this cross-country time regardless of the distance between Airports C and B.
@@ToddShellnuttCPC this is impressive thanks for taking the time to reply all of our comments or doubts.
I have hours in C208 and C404 , so according this paragraph ( complex, turbine or Taa) can be in caravan or any multi engine. So many people do not know.
Yep - you just want to make sure that the logbook correctly reflects "Training per 61.129(a)(3)(ii)", and contains the CFI signature and credentials. This is for the single engine. Replace the (a) with (b) for the multiengine.
In 61.129.4.i could you not make as many stops as you like of any distance so long as one is 250 nautical miles from the original departure? Not an actual 250 mile leg.
Absolutely. The plain language of the reg states that one of the landings must be at least a straight line distance of at least 250 from the original departure point - it mentions nothing about a 250 nm leg.
Great video! as per 61.129 (a)(3)(ii) can you do the 10 hours of training complex (TAA) in a multi-engine even though you are not certified in it. I will be going for my commercial certificate soon and already have 10 hours of training in a multi-engine. Thanks!
Hi Juan - it only needs to be an airplane. Can be single engine, or multiengine, and you need not be certified in that class. Hope this helps!
@@ToddShellnuttCPC Thanks!
If you already hold an instrument rating, do you still need the 10 hour training?
That would all depend on how the flight time was logged during your Instrument training. If you look through the flights in your logbook, and see that the CFII who did your training logged "Training per 61.129(a)(3)(i), and that time totals 10 hours, then you are good to go. I hope this helps, if not, let me know.
Can you carry passengers when performing the duties of pilot in command with an authorized instructor per 61.129(a)4
Yes. No issues with that at all. See this letter of interpretation from FAA legal: www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/agc/practice_areas/regulations/interpretations/Data/interps/2007/Olshock-PanAm3%20-%20(2007)%20Legal%20Interpretation.pdf
Todd Shellnutt thanks you, I fail my CFI initial because I said passengers were not allowed, and I was also confuse with the solo vs PIC time.
@@avia3089 If they are not yet a private pilot you the CFI is the PIC
Hi Todd, do the 5 hrs of night plus 10 takeoffs and landings need to be solo? My ten hr day VFR requirement was with a CFI on board. I’ve heard that you can’t mix and match solo time with time having a CFI on board during those hours. Is that correct? Thank you!
61.129(a)(4) states the time can be solo OR with an authorized CFI. You can not mix those.
hey sir you're absolutely right. This is indeed the most misunderstood reg. Both my 300NM and 5hrs at night was with an instructor on board so am
1. Am I supposed to just log it like a normal solo flight so there should be no dual

2. What should I include in the remarks/notes section? "300 NM Solo performing

3. In my CFis logbook will he log the flight as dual given or no?
Can the 2hr day/night XC be under foggles? Doesn’t say day/night VFR or IFR… 🤔
The intent of the regulation was for the applicant to conduct the training under VFR conditions in order to expose the pressures of the demands of cross-country navigation under both day and night conditions. You can read more about this in the federal register history; 60 Fed. Reg. 41160, 41181-82 (Aug. 11, 1995) (promulgated with slight modifications on April 4, 1997, 62 Fed. Reg. 16298).
@@ToddShellnuttCPC thank you!
So the 10hrs in a complex or TAA has to be dual time
yes
That is correct. Per 61.129(3)(iii), the key word being "training" in the "10 hours of training in complex airplane...".
@@ToddShellnuttCPC Simulator time can count towards the commercial pilot certificate correct
for the 250 hours
@@Hedgeflexlfz Yes it can; in accordance with 14 CFR 61.129(i)
