Does simulator training count as flight time?
Never log experience in the “flight time” category. While some LOA’s allow for the use of simulator experience in “Total Time” to credit towards certification, it is generally not recommended to count this time in this way. Simply add applicable times when completing the FAA 8710 to avoid errors and possible confusion.
Which document alone establishes proof of U.S. citizenship for the purposes of obtaining flight training?
Original U.S. Naturalization Certificate with raised seal (Form N-550 or N-570) AND a government-issued picture ID.
Can you use your own plane for flight training?
ABSOLUTELY! If you want to own a plane and that’s just something you want to do and you are aware of all the costs and issues involved, GO FOR IT! If your goal is to find a cheaper way to learn to fly, think about it A LOT before you dive in. Whatever you do, start working through the process and learn to fly.
Is it worth it to buy your own plane?
According to the 100 Hours Rule, it makes the most sense to buy your own plane when you’re consistently flying 100 hours a year. There may be years you fly less. But if you’re averaging 100 hours in the sky on a yearly basis, then you’re in good shape to seriously consider buying your own plane.
What are the requirements for a pilot certification?
There are also specific requirements for logging time doing certain things like solo cross-country flight, night flights, or landing at airports with a tower. From the Wikipedia article on US Pilot Certification.
When do I need to go to training for my job?
Under FLSA regulations, training is considered directly related to the employee’s job if it is designed to help the employee handle his or her current job more effectively as distinguished from training the employee for another job (such as a higher level position). A doctor’s office requires employees to attend training on patient privacy.
How much time does an employee have to travel to work?
However, you may subtract the time it normally takes the employee to travel to and from his or her regular worksite. In this example, the employee would be entitled to 3.5 hours of paid time for the travel (4 hours of travel minus 30 minutes of normal commuting time).
When do you not have to pay for travel time?
No. When employees engage in ordinary travel from home before their regular workday and return home at the end of the workday, the FLSA generally does not consider this time hours worked and therefore pay is not required. Note: Special rules may apply if the company supplies the vehicle in which the employee commutes.
