Sent him to a good local Flight School for finish up, and they recalculated his X-C hours, using the .2 adjustment mentioned, because all the Designated Examiners in this area, are following this guideline we were told.
Family said fine, more training never hurts.
Kid didn't mind either.
I'd never seen this "adjustment" technique in 42 years as a CFI, but what it is, is what it is, I guess!!!
Just saying.
Extra training is fine, but when you try to get your commercial especially on a multi-engine airplane it can get very pricey for no good reason... Just saying
