A certificated commercial pilot who carries passengers for hire at night or in excess of 50 NM is required to have at least
A
a type rating.
B
a first class medical certificate.
C
an instrument rating in the same category and class of aircraft.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
Under 14 CFR 61.133(b)(1), a commercial pilot in airplanes or powered-lifts without an instrument rating in the same category and class receives the limitation 'The carriage of passengers for hire on cross-country flights in excess of 50 nautical miles or at night is prohibited.' To carry passengers for hire at night or beyond 50 NM, the pilot must hold an instrument rating in the same category and class. A type rating and a first-class medical are not what removes this limitation.
