Solo sign off

Post by jjortega »

Hi, I just have a doubt, I am right know on my 10 hr log (dual inst.) .My CFI

say that because my last experience flying Ultralight I have Master all

maneuver, landings, etc.,etc.. that my solo is going to really in 2 to 3 more

flights. My question is : On the regulation says that I have to fly 15 hrs Dual

and 5 solo .In 2 more flight I may log 2 more hours dual. So is 12 hours to

dual and he will sign me off for the solo. Do I still need to log in my

training the other 3hrs dual left? :?

Don't forget that you are required to receive 3 hours of flight training on those areas of operation specified in §61.311 preparing for the practical test within 60 days before the date of the test, per FAR 61.313which would put you at 15 dual.
