Endorsements Question?
I have a student doing a cross country solo tomorrow. I have not yet endorsed him for cross country solo. He is planning to leave early in the morning, my question is as follows:
Is it legal for him to scan his flight plan and send it to me to review, then for me to fax or email him back his endorsements and for him to print them out and stick them in his logbook / student pilot certificate?
Anyone know?

Whether you are in a Part 141 environment also makes a difference as in the case of a 141 Private Pilot student the Part 141 instructor MUST be at the airport the ENTIRE time of the solo flight.
