It depends on what the CFII wrote in the book and how it was
phrased.

| Thanks for the reply guys!
| So since I received my 3 hours from a CFII, it DOES COUNT,
right?

| | Hey guys, quick question about the commercial (VFR)
rating
| and the
| | hours required for it.
| | To get your commercial rating you need:
| |
| | 20 hours of DUAL training to include....
| |
| | 10 hours of DUAL complex time
| | 1 two hour DUAL, DAY, VFR, 100 Nm (straight line
distance)
| cross
| | country
| | 1 two hour DUAL, NIGHT, VFR, 100 Nm (straight line
| distance) cross
| | country
| | 10 hours DUAL Instrument
| | 250 hours of total time
| | 100 hours pilot in command
| |
| | 50 hours cross country PIC
| |
| | 10 hours of solo to include....
| |
| | 1 300 Nm cross country with 3 full stop landings, one
of
| which is 250
| | Nm straight line distance from the point of departure.
| | 5 hours of NIGHT SOLO, and in those five :
| | 10 take offs and landings at NIGHT SOLO, at an airport
| with an
| | operating control tower.
| |
| | Now my questions is: I got a couple of hours (4) of
| simulated
| | instrument and 2 dual cross country's of 100nm logged
that
| prepared me
| | for my PP, do those hours qualify for the rating or do
I
| have to do
| | them over again?
| |
| | Thanks!
