Yes. See 61.1b6 for the definition of "flight training". (The three main
sources of official aviation definitions are FAR 1.1, FAR 61.1, and the AIM
Pilot/Controller Glossary. Not all regulatory terms appear in any of those
places; but most do, so they're good places to look first.)
By the way, commercial privileges are granted by a new certificate, not a
rating. The DE might care about that distinction. :)
(I cross-posted this to rec.aviation.piloting, since it's not about IFR.)
