This may be a little confusing, but here goes. I am scheduled to start flying at a 141 school in January. This is a university run by the state. I have my private and instrument already, and their syllabus requires 120 hours of cross country time before training for commercial. I currently have 170 hours TT, all part 61, and getting 120 hours would put me well over the 250 pt 61 comm requirement. They require a minimum of 35 hours to pass the x-country flight lab. I am planning on getting around 60 hours from them, dropping out of the flight lab, and get the remaining 20 hours with a pt 61 school to get my commercial ticket. Is this perfectly fine to do? The reason I'm flying 141 for a while is because the schools solo hourly rates are cheaper than the pt 61 schools hourly rates. After dropping this, I am planning on changing majors so I can graduate with an A&P, and BS in Maint. rather than a pro pilot degree. Thanks
