Hmm... All this time I've been told / read that the 50nm didn't apply to the ATP, but apparantly it does. And honestly, I was a bit skeptical about the "don't have to land thing," I never even heard about that until yesterday when I read it online (hooray internet
). Thanks for pulling that up. Thankfully, I've got a seperate column in LogbookPro for 50nm+ XC time "just in case."
So my original question still applies. How is 6.5 hours of XC time to a airport 55nm away going to look to potential employers? Will they just accept it, or is it going to raise a red flag? Does anyone else have any experience with something like this?
