Good, continue to do so. That still makes what I just said regarding the source applicable. Isn't it about time you put on your ray bans and shot a remake of Top Gun with your buddies and some Flight Sim?

Instead of arguing about what you guys think is correct, how about opening up that FAR/AIM and quoting a reg that proves I was able to get my commercial at 200 hours total time.

Just fun bustin balls man. It has no effect on me one way or another.

You obviously feel good about what you are doing. My opinion shouldn't make too much of a difference to you.

It doesnt, its just fun to talk to other fellow aviation enthusiasts about big important subjects such as these!

Sorry, I wasn't specific enough. I want the Part 61 regs that prove I was able to attain the commercial certificate at 200 hours total flight time.

I mentioned it earlier... upwards of 50 hours FTD...

[desertdog71]

Yep, thats pretty misleading.

You need 250 hours, of which howver many can be in a simulator. Which is not flight time. The schools sure act like it is though. Tell you are getting 200 Hours and in reality 50 is simulator and another 55 is Shared safety pilot scams. Don't get me started on that now.

Sorry folks, even I forgot what the basic title of the thread was so I merged them into a new one.

So you had like 220TT in an actual aircraft and 50~TT in an FTD adding up to, lemme do the math...

270TT

So you had the 250TT min needed for part 61, but some was replaced by FTD. How much is allowed to be replaced by FTD is the question though. Obviously you did it, but is there a limit?

[desertdog71]

LMAO!!!!

Good one Doug or whoever Changed the Title.

[Doug Taylor]

I started a new thread entirely. Grog I love vBulletin!

270TT

Perhaps 270 "total total time" but I use the TT column in my logbook for total flight time...

Right, same here but I meant for satisfying the part 61 mins for the liscence thats how it worked out...

On that note... I need to use less dancing banana people...

So you're still paying a ridiculous amount of money for the same education everyone else gets.
