the course requires 15 hours flight training 
on the areas of operations under part 141, ap-
pendix A, paragraph 4.(c)(3) that includes— 

(i) Two hours of flight training to and at

tical miles from the airport where the appli-
cant normally trains, with three takeoffs 
and three landings, except as provided under 
§ 61.100 of this chapter; and 

(ii) Three hours of flight training in a gy-

roplane class within 2 calendar months be-
fore the date of the practical test. 

(2) For the private pilot certificate, the 

course requires 20 hours flight training on 
the areas of operations under part 141, appen-
dix B, paragraph 4.(d)(4). A flight simulator

(ii) Three hours of nighttime flight train-

ing in a gyroplane that includes one cross

ings to a full stop (with each landing involv-
ing a flight in the traffic pattern) at an air-
port; and 

(iii) Three hours of flight training in a gy-

strument flying, partial panel skills, recov-
ery from unusual flight attitudes, and inter-
cepting and tracking navigational systems. 
This aeronautical experience may be per-
formed in an aircraft, flight simulator, flight 
training device, or an aviation training de-
vice. 

(ii) One 2-hour cross country flight during 

daytime conditions in a gyroplane, a total 
straight-line distance of more than 50 nau-
tical miles from the original point of depar-
ture; 

(iii) Two hours of flight training during 

nighttime conditions in a gyroplane at an 
airport, that includes 10 takeoffs and 10 land-
ings to a full stop (with each landing involv-
ing a flight in the traffic pattern); and 

(iv) Three hours in a gyroplane within 2 

calendar months before the date of the prac-
tical test. 

(e) Course for an additional lighter-than- 

air category and airship class rating. 

(1) For the private pilot certificate, the

flight in the traffic pattern) at an airport; 

(iii) Three hours of flight training in an 

airship on the control and maneuvering of an 
airship solely by reference to instruments, 
including straight and level flight, constant 
airspeed climbs and descents, turns to a 
heading, recovery from unusual flight atti-
tudes, radio communications, and the use of 
navigation systems/facilities and radar serv-
ices appropriate to instrument flight; and 

(iv) Three hours of flight training in an 

airship within 2 calendar months before the 
date of the practical test. 

(2) For the commercial pilot certificate, 

the course requires 55 hours of flight train-
ing on the areas of operation under part 141, 
appendix D, paragraph 4.(d)(7). A flight simu-

ing requirements, and use of the flight train-
ing device is limited to 11 hours of the 16.5 
hours permitted. The course must include— 

(i) Three hours of instrument training in 

an airship that must include training using a 
view-limiting device for attitude instrument 
flying, partial panel skills, recovery from 
unusual flight attitudes, and intercepting
