Keep in mind that if you DON'T land, you cannot count that time towards your 135 minimums... or anything else for that matter, besides your ATP. If you choose to do that, I would suggest making a seperate column in your logbook, and call it "ATP X-C." That way, when you don't land, you can keep it seperate from your "real" cross-country time, seeing as how you can't use it towards anything other than your ATP.
Too much work / confusion for me, I just land anyway. Plus, I don't have to debate with an employer or anyone else about it's legality.
