§ 61.93 

(d) 

Limitations on authorized instruc-

tors to permit solo cross-country flights. 

An authorized instructor may not per-
mit a student pilot to conduct a solo 
cross-country flight unless that in-
structor has: 

(1) Determined that the student’s 

cross-country planning is correct for 
the flight; 

(2) Reviewed the current and forecast 

weather conditions and has determined 
that the flight can be completed under 
VFR; 

(3) Determined that the student is 

proficient to conduct the flight safely; 

(4) Determined that the student has 

the appropriate solo cross-country en-
dorsement for the make and model of 
aircraft to be flown; and 

(5) Determined that the student’s 

solo flight endorsement is current for 
the make and model aircraft to be 
flown. 

(e) 

Maneuvers and procedures for cross- 

country flight training in a single-engine 
airplane. 

A student pilot who is receiv-

ing training for cross-country flight in 
a single-engine airplane must receive 
and log flight training in the following 
maneuvers and procedures: 

(1) Use of aeronautical charts for 

VFR navigation using pilotage and 
dead reckoning with the aid of a mag-
netic compass; 

(2) Use of aircraft performance charts 

pertaining to cross-country flight; 

(3) Procurement and analysis of aero-

nautical weather reports and forecasts, 
including recognition of critical weath-
er situations and estimating visibility 
while in flight; 

(4) Emergency procedures; 
(5) Traffic pattern procedures that in-

clude area departure, area arrival, 
entry into the traffic pattern, and ap-
proach; 

(6) Procedures and operating prac-

tices for collision avoidance, wake tur-
bulence precautions, and windshear 
avoidance; 

(7) Recognition, avoidance, and oper-

ational restrictions of hazardous ter-
rain features in the geographical area 
where the cross-country flight will be 
flown; 

(8) Procedures for operating the in-

struments and equipment installed in 
the aircraft to be flown, including rec-

ognition and use of the proper oper-
ational procedures and indications; 

(9) Use of radios for VFR navigation 

and two-way communication, except 
that a student pilot seeking a sport 
pilot certificate must only receive and 
log flight training on the use of radios 
installed in the aircraft to be flown; 

(10) Takeoff, approach, and landing 

procedures, including short-field, soft- 
field, and crosswind takeoffs, ap-
proaches, and landings; 

(11) Climbs at best angle and best 

rate; and 

(12) Control and maneuvering solely 

by reference to flight instruments, in-
cluding straight and level flight, turns, 
descents, climbs, use of radio aids, and 
ATC directives. For student pilots 
seeking a sport pilot certificate, the 
provisions of this paragraph only apply 
when receiving training for cross-coun-
try flight in an airplane that has a V

H

 

greater than 87 knots CAS. 

(f) 

Maneuvers and procedures for cross- 

country flight training in a multiengine 
airplane. 

A student pilot who is receiv-

ing training for cross-country flight in 
a multiengine airplane must receive 
and log flight training in the following 
maneuvers and procedures: 

(1) Use of aeronautical charts for 

VFR navigation using pilotage and 
dead reckoning with the aid of a mag-
netic compass; 

(2) Use of aircraft performance charts
