Requirement for MEIR
HI, I am studying in New Zealand and hold a current PPL plus all my CPL exams and cross countries. I am now doing my MEIR and see that I need 50 hours PIC cross country time. I am 5 hours short so was wondering if I was allowed to do a cross country as PIC, and on this same cross country do some IFR time which I will put towards my MEIR. Is this allowed or do they have to be separate flights?
