What gives (if anything)?
Personally like most other long-term cfi's i'm close hours wise but kinda far off on the XC number (which is hard to get.) If there's "give" on the top line # how much "give" is there on this?
Thx!
Keep in mind for ATP cross country all you need is to fly 50 nm away, and no landing is necessary. Do manuevers in one direction for 20-30 min then turn around and do them on the way back to the airport. Especially if you're teaching in a twin or a cirrus you can knock out cross country time pretty easily this way.
