mm flynne
When I did my FAA cpl at the start of this year they were quite adament that my flying club FI jollies to far flung places did not count as I was not sole occupant of the aircraft
FAR 61.129 (4) states 10 hours of "SOLO" flight time to include at least.....
(i) one X/C flight of at least 300nm .........(with some very specific distances)
Worth checking before you go as it can up the budget a little bit
