(1) 

Student pilot certificate endorse-

ment.  A student pilot must have a solo 
cross-country endorsement from the

(2) 

Logbook endorsement. (i) A student 

pilot must have a solo cross-country 
endorsement from an authorized in-
structor that is placed in the student 
pilot’s logbook for the specific make 
and model of aircraft to be flown. 

(ii) For each cross-country flight, the 

authorized instructor who reviews the 
cross-country planning must make an 
endorsement in the person’s logbook 
after reviewing that person’s cross- 
country planning, as specified in para-
graph (d) of this section. The endorse-
ment must— 

(A) Specify the make and model of
