I don't believe so. He needs to review the wx for the day and endorse your logbook for the flight. You could get another CFI to do it but I doubt they would unless very familiar with your capabilities. If you fly at a 141 school the Chief CFI may be willing.

Always check with your instructor if you are in doubt of an endorsement or your limitations. Don't be afraid to ask your instructor a question when ever in doubt about your training. FAR 61.93 (d) (2) (ii) allows your instructor to approve repeated solo flights less that 50 nm if your instructor has given you instruction in both directions along that route. And he can put restrictions on the indorsement. Probably including weather ,wind conditions and time of day. Check with your instructor if he's not available check with the chief flight instructor.

Just as long as you have a CFI sign it off, it is legit. But I have been told that getting a CFI that you have not flown with to sign you off...is kinda shady...

But just as long as they review it with you and know that YOU know what's going on...go for it. Make sure that the ground instruction (review of your flight plan) is logged and signed by THAT CFI that checked you out.

Just my .02 cents....

Heres the deal, as a CFI who is leaving their student alone for other CFI's to sign them off for solo x/c's, the initial CFI should write in the endorsment if it is not provided by the logbook, and just leave the limitations, date, and other stuff blank.

That way, the CFI who signs the student off does not have to pull out 61-65E and copy down the endorsement word for word and do all the work.

Their is not too much responsibility for the CFI who sign's the student off, the sign off instructor just has to make sure the flight can be made VFR and within the limitations prescribed etc. If the student does something stupid, then the FAA may chat with the sign-off instructor, but they are really looking for who gave the X/C training (the initial cross country endorsement).

And of course the sign-off CFI has to check their 90 day solo endorsement, and their medical cert. for the appropriate sign-offs.
