Instrument Training
Instrument Time and Cross-Country
A focused interpretation of FAA Gordon (2006) on whether instrument training time and PIC cross-country time may be credited concurrently toward an instrument rating.
Answer: The FAA interprets that the aeronautical experience requirements of §61.65(d)(1) and §61.65(d)(2) may be accumulated concurrently, provided each flight independently satisfies the requirements of both provisions.
Can instrument training time also count as cross-country PIC?Can I log instrument training and cross-country time on the same flight?
