A "glider" is not defined as an "airplane", as per the FAR's.
Nice try though.


Huh?

1) 61.129 (a) (ii) states that 10 of the 50 hours must be in airplanes, which
clearly implies that the other 40 may be done in some other type of aircraft
other than an "airplane".

2) 61.1 (b) (3) "Cross-country time means-" makes no mention of the word
"airplane".

Did I miss something? I don't see how there could possibly be any question
that glider cross-country time would apply towards the Commercial SEl rating as
long as it otherwise meets the definition (50-mile straight-line distance,
pilotage etc.).
