Logging Instrument
Time |
|
Question: |
When flying solo on an IFR flight plan in VMC, can I log the
approach I fly at the destination if I request an approach and get clearance
for it and count that towards my 6 approaches in 6 months? |

Answer: |
14CFR
61.57(c)(1) states that “For the purpose of obtaining instrument experience
in an aircraft, performed and logged UNDER ACTUAL OR SIMULATED INSTRUMENT
CONDITIONS…” This means that if you are not at least under the hood with a
safety pilot you cannot log the approaches. You should still try to file and
fly them whenever possible, even in VMC. It keeps you sharp with regard to
reading and following the approaches. |

Question: |
Does
Jet Air offer Sport Pilot training? |
||
|
Answer: |
Jet Air
instructors are qualified to train sport pilots. However, Jet Air does not currently
have a suitable aircraft for sport pilot testing. In order to take the sport
pilot check ride the student must use a “light sport aircraft” which is
defined in part 1 of 14CFR. Some of
the requirements are a maximum takeoff weight of not more than 1320 lbs and
maximum level flight airspeed of 120 knots CAS. We can train you in our aircraft but you
would be flying a completely unfamiliar one when you test. |
