PPL to CPL
Posted: Wed Sep 07, 2016 3:34 am
So I have had my PPL for about 3 or 4 years now. I got my PPL to use for recreational reasons - smashing bugs in a 172 and now darting across the country in my 310.
In that time I have earned my night, multi, and group 1 instrument ratings. My logbook shows about 650hrs total time
I am kicking around the idea of getting my CPL requirements done and if my medical checkup allows (which is due in a year or so), get my commercial rating. I don't really have any reason to now, but it would be another goal to set and achieve.
I think I have all the boxes checked as far as requirements (300 mile x-country etc), but as for the 65? Hours of commercial training - would my time spent in training for night, multi, IFR, and a couple insurance check outs count??
