Follow along through this helpful video to learn what exactly you have to do to send a student pilot on a cross country solo flight. Please post any questions you may have below.
Thank you for taking the time to put these videos together. I am working towards my initial CFI, and these have really expanded my knowledge. Easy to follow along with and not dry as one would think.
So as I understand. You would have to re-do the C1 endorsement if you did XC training to a “new” airport bc 61.93(e)(5) says pattern at the specific airport????
Well, if you were talking about the 61.93(c)(1), then no. That is only stating that you have given the training in the specific "category" of aircraft. None of that is specific to an airport. Let me know if this it not what you were referring to.
@@ToddShellnuttCPC ah I see. In 61.93(c)(1) it says the word “training” and I thought that meant all the line-items under 61.93(e). Bc 61.93(e)(5) says “Traffic pattern procedures that include area departure, area arrival, entry into the traffic pattern, and approach”. I thought this was specifically relative to the airport the XC was flown to. But now I understand it is more relative to the make and model of the plane.
Hey Todd, A few questions: For repeated solo cross country flights within 50 NM to another airport, would the only endorsements they would need be the 61.93(b)(2), 61.93(c)(1), and 61.93(c)(2) endorsements. Would all 61.93(c)(1,2,3) endorsements be given when the solo cross country flight is more than 50 NM, with the 61.93(c)(3) endorsement being given for each XC flight? Also, you gave the scenario for when the 61.93(b)(2) would be applicable, would it also be applicable if I have a student that simply goes on a repeated solo XC flights from the training airport to another airport that is within 50 NM? Thank You! Appreciate the videos.
Sorry for the late reply. If you are within 50 nm, then you are correct with all that you stated in the first paragraph. In regards to your second question, the answer is yes, as long as it is for training purposes.
Question that relates to the end of this video: say that I had a student, and I was feeling bold. I endorsed him for his solo XC and he also has his valid 61.87 (“Oh”hell no) endorsement. Imagine it is winter time on the east coast and later in the afternoon where the sun sets pretty early. I send him off on his solo XC ( I probably would actually never do this :) do the two endorsements authorize him to be flying cross country at night? Or is the 61.87 (O) just valid for local solo flights?

Unreal video. I'm in disbelief this video has 2.2k views after being on RUclips for 5 years... WHERE are all the CFI's??
