You have to follow the approved 141 syllabus, so I doubt this will work. My recommendation would be to get your instrument under part 61 and continue to build the 250 hours of total time. It will save you money long term, trust me.
...and the approved syllabus is required to include cross country time, which is all that you're after.
You can doubt it if you want, but I've done it. When I was doing the chief instructor thing I had
noooooooooo problem enrolling students for projects like that.
141 Appendix D said:
5. Solo training. Each approved course must include at least the following solo flight training:
(a) For an airplane single-engine course: 10 hours of solo flight training in a single-engine airplane on the approved areas of operation in paragraph (d)(1) of section No. 4 of this appendix that includes at least—
(1) One cross-country flight, if the training is being performed in the State of Hawaii, with landings at a minimum of three points, and one of the segments consisting of a straight-line distance of at least 150 nautical miles;
(2) One cross-country flight, if the training is being performed in a State other than Hawaii, with landings at a minimum of three points, and one segment of the flight consisting of a straight-line distance of at least 250 nautical miles; and
(3) 5 hours in night VFR conditions with 10 takeoffs and 10 landings (with each landing involving a flight with a traffic pattern) at an airport with an operating control tower.
At least you'll get
some of the required PIC xc there (solo is PIC).
141 Appendix D said:
(b) Each approved course must include at least the following flight training:
(1) For an airplane single-engine course: 55 hours of flight training from a certificated flight instructor on the approved areas of operation listed in paragraph (d)(1) of this section that includes at least—
(i) 5 hours of instrument training in a single-engine airplane;
(remember that of the 40 hours for part 61 instrument, it doesn't all have to be with a CFII working on the instrument rating)
(ii) 10 hours of training in a single-engine airplane that has retractable landing gear, flaps, and a controllable pitch propeller, or is turbine-powered;
(iii) One cross-country flight in a single-engine airplane of at least a 2-hour duration, a total straight-line distance of more than 100 nautical miles from the original point of departure, and occurring in day VFR conditions;
(iv) One cross-country flight in a single-engine airplane of at least a 2-hour duration, a total straight-line distance of more than 100 nautical miles from the original point of departure, and occurring in night VFR conditions; and
(v) 3 hours in a single-engine airplane in preparation for the practical test within 60 days preceding the date of the test.
and there's some more of your PIC xc time. Not "part 1" PIC, but you can log it as PIC which is all that you're after to get your certificate/rating.
Also, while you must complete
each lesson in the 141 syllabus, you're not directly limited to how many times you may repeat a lesson if you needed some more, or you could get the "more xc time" working with your CFII on your instrument rating.
I'm a believer in doing IFR xc's with a CFII vs. going out and shooting 9300 approaches per lesson. Obviously, if you can't shoot the approaches then going into airports and following SIDs and STARs is going to be pointless, but once you're proficient with them you should get some experience at busy, slow and in-between airports. Anyway, off of my soap box...
It's do-able, but it's going to be expensive. I'll agree with mojo, do everything part 61 if you aren't doing the instrument rating under part 141.
