Using training time to count toward 50 hrs. XC PIC

[PanJet]

Ok, looked it up and don't see where it says you CAN'T log it as PIC time.

I don't see why not, just sounded weird I guess.

There was a discussion in this thread a while back about logging PIC time while recieving dual.

As far as using instrument training XC's toward your PIC XC requirement, it's fine. We have lots of students that do that at our school. You can log dual given as PIC time if you are rated in cat. and class, (see above thread for more techincal issues), and the XC requirement just says 50 hours of PIC XC. Doesn't say it can't be dual recieved.

Yes, they count. And don't forget that your solo x-c time as a student pilot also counts, since you were PIC at that time.

Hello everyone,

am I allowed to do my IFR training under the hood with my CFII on cross country flights and have those XC hours count toward the 50? Obviously I can log it as PIC since I am rated in the aircraft and am the sole manipulator of the controls, but I am just wondering if that is "kosher" to use toward the 50?

Yeah, you can do that. I did.
