Thats only for Part 135 IFR mins. The ATP requires 50nm but no landing.

Not true for the ATP requirement. You must have gone a distance of at least 50NM from your departure airport to count it as xc for the purpose of the 500hrs xc for ATP minimums.

See above. Also for logging it. Once you get your commercial theres only 2 reasons for XC time, part 135 mins (point to point) and ATP mins (over 50nm but no landing). Use your XC section for ATP XC and create one for point to point XC. When you log a 50nm with no landing its simple, just put departure airport, point you went over 50nm (ABC VOR), and landing point.
