141 2/4 Year schools and Pt 61 time
I never seem to get a straight answer from any of these schools. They all admit that you cannot apply for their flight programs with anything higher than a Private ticket. I understand completely that in order to comply for a RATP ticket for reduced hours (1000/1250) an individual must log ground and flight instruction for both Instrument and Commercial certificates. After obtaining those two certificates, can an individual obtain their own Commercial AMEL ticket under FAR 61? How does an individual add up their flight time obtained under FAR 61 rules? How much flight time can you count towards the Instrument and Commercial ticket? I spoke with a FAA Inspector and I was under the impression that you could count up to 25% Part 61 flight time towards the next higher certificate sought under Part 141. Anyone out there dealt with this issue before?
