Hi, I have a follow up question regarding these requirements:
- 12 hours of flight time in single-engine (single-pilot) aeroplane within the 12 months preceding the rating’s expiry date, including the following:
- 6 hours as pilot-in-command (PIC)
- 12 take-offs and landings
- a training flight of at least 1 hour (or a maximum of three totalling 1 hour) with the same flight instructor or class rating instructor. If you have already completed a proficiency check or skill test in another type or class of aeroplane, you will not have to complete this training flight
My school told me that the training flight is not included in the 12 hours. From the above ^ it would seem like it is. Are they right? It seems like you only have to do 6 hours of solo flight time. What if I did 2 hours of training flights and had 10 hours of solo flight time. Would that count?
