Hey all. I'm really getting excited (I know - its sick) about doing this long Cross Country. Here's where I'm having the problems...er...questions.
I'm going home the week before Thanksgiving to see the family and eat some turkey. While I'm home I'll probably be able to fly, but not at my school (141).
If I do the cross country while I'm there, will I get to credit that toward my certificate requirements for the CPL? Is this where that 50% rule comes in? Can someone explain that 50% rule and how/where it applies?
Also, I'm looking for someplace cool to go (just to say "hey, I've been there") while I'm doing it.
If I do it here, I'll be needing to go straight line at least 250nm away from KOUN (OKC area). And if I do it at home, I'll need to be 250nm away from KYNG (NE Ohio).
My other question: The 141 regs don't mention VFR conditions for this flight, so does that open the door for me to file and fly IFR?
Wow, just thinking about this is exciting me almost a little too much. I think I'm moist...okay thanks for the help!
