I can't access the regulations right now, but they're in 135.243. 1200 hours flight time. 75 hours instrument, at least 50 of which are in an aircraft. I think 100 hours night cross-country? Can someone verify this?

To clarify for those out there the 500 X-C on the IFR is point-to-point flights that count for that. So it's one that's often "overlooked" because it's really a pathetic requirement.

So any point to point flight (including a landing) counts as a X-C?

That's correct, as long as you landed somewhere other than your departure airport.
Also, the instrument time is in actual flight conditions, not necessarily actual IFR conditions; which means you can count hood time toward that.

For those of you that are CFI's. Always plan your training flights to an airport 50 miles away and do a touch and go.

Don't lose perspective. A good CFI always thinks of their logbook and flight time first. Then as a second thought how to get the bonehead student to not embarass themselves in front of the examiner.

Seroiusly, it works better with instrument and commercial students.
