I am a Private Pilot, and am about to start my Instrument training. My question is, when building solo XCountry time, am I able to have a passenger in the plane with me (assuming that I am the sole-manipulator of the controls)? I could swear that I've read about this in the FARs, but I can't seem to find the answer right now. I can't even find the definition of "solo" right now. If you know which FAR discusses this, can you include that in your answer. I'm just trying to determine if I can bring a friend along on an XCountry flight and still be able to log it as solo time (again, assuming that I am the sole-manipulator of the controls at all times).
