Seroiusly, it works better with instrument and commercial students.

I tagged X/C to most lesson and when it came time to move on I had ATP mins.

Exactly...........this has nothing to do with the 50nm rule. That rule only is needed for new ratings(such as the X-C experience for private, instrument, and commercial tickets). For 135, it can be a cumulation of anytime you went and did touch-and-goes at an airport other than the one you originated from.

As I mentioned above, this one is typically overlooked, because it's really a given for 99% of the flying population by the time you hit 1200 hrs. The only folks I know that would have a problem would be any sky-diver drop pilots, banner/glider towers, traffic watch, etc...

The two airports could be 10 miles apart. Start a second column in your book for 135 x-c if that's your desired route. The 50 mile rule is only for aeronautical experience pertaining to a rating.

If the airport is 3 miles away, it counts as cross country for the CFI. Only student pilots need to worry about the 50 mile rule.

I'm pretty sure you don't have to land.

Actually, an airport any distance from the point of origin technically qualifies, but you do have to land there for it to count as 135 XC time.

According to the 61.1b3i, the only XC time excepted from the landing requirement is that for ATP aeronautical experience. However, 61.1b3 (Cross-country time means-) does not list any distance requirement, only a "landing at a point other than the point of departure." The distance requirements are laid out in for the individual ratings and certificates in the following paragraphs.

Oh man. Looks like I'm going to have to go through my logbook and go fishing for some 135 hours now. Woo hoo!

Oh yeah forgot to ask... I'd quote it but I still haven't completely figured this thing out. Up above where Ewfflyer said, "That rule only is needed for new ratings(such as the X-C experience for private, instrument, and commercial tickets)" Is ATP one that is subject to the 50 NM rule or not? It may have been clarified up above but I've honestly never been good with the FAR chinese.

No, a good CFI thinks of his or her student first.
