FAA CPL Requirements: Urgent help needed
Hi everybody.
Right now I'm in Phoenix, Arizona, making my Eclipse 500 TR.
I also wanted to achieve my FAA CPL license along with my TR, but it seems like I have a problem.
I have 550h TT, being about 270 in ME, and about 240 of these in night IFR in Florida.
The problem I just found is that a part of the FAA CPL (FAR 91.129 b) requirements, are as follows:
"One cross-country flight of at
least 2 hours in a multiengine airplane
in night VFR conditions, consisting of
a total straight-line distance of more
than 100 nautical miles from the original
point of departure"
"5 hours in night VFR conditions
with 10 takeoffs and 10 landings (with
each landing involving a flight with a
traffic pattern) at an airport with an
operating control tower."
What's that night VFR conditions mean? I assume it means VMC and that it doesn't matter if they are flown in IFR or VFR. But the people in the school where I am are telling me that those flights must be VFR flights.
Anyone can give me an answer to this? I need to have it solved before Tuesday.
Thanks in advance to everybody.
