I have a question about the commercial requirement for the Helicopter ticket. FAR 61.129 states one needs 10 hrs of instrument time in an aircraft. I suppose that means it can be in a fixed wing (have ASEL)? Could a CFI I provide the dual 10 hrs if CFI is rated for Helicopter, but Helo isn't IFR equipped? Or must it be done by a CFI II? Could you get the 10 dual in a simulator (airplane)?
