| Feb 16, 2021 at 2:35 | comment | added | StephenS | @GeckoFox1001 No, those 45 hours have to be dual xc. And talk with someone who has done a combined check ride before you consider going down that road. | |

Since I already have around 45 hours of dual training and 5 hours of solo cross country, does that mean all I have to do is take the instrument written and do 40 hours of instrument training to take the combined checkride? | |
| Feb 15, 2021 at 22:58 | comment | added | Dean F. | @GeckoFox1001 - 14 CFR Part 61.65 (g) goes on to say (g) An applicant for a combined private pilot certificate with an instrument rating may satisfy the cross-country flight time requirements of this section by crediting: (1) For an instrument-airplane rating or an instrument-powered-lift rating, up to 45 hours of cross-country flight time performing the duties of pilot in command with an authorized instructor; or | |

| Feb 15, 2021 at 21:53 | comment | added | GeckoFox1001 | thank you so much for your response @DeanF. That is really helpful, I never considered the possibility of combining private and instrument training. How would that work, because don't you need a minimum of 50 hours of cross-country flight as a private pilot in addition to the required instrument training in order to take the instrument check ride? | |
