(4) 250 hours of flight time in an airplane as a pilot in command, or as second in command performing the duties of pilot in command while under the supervision of a pilot in command, or any combination thereof, which includes at least --
(i) 100 hours of cross-country flight time; and

I am just trying to figure out how this reads. My understanding of it is that you can count up to 100 hours toward the 1500 if it was done under part 142.

Do I have this right?
