I think if one turns up with 1500hrs of x/c time on a logbook, nobody is going to bother to add it up
The problem is with unusual requirements like 2hr VFR
dual x/c flights - I have 700hrs and a lot of ~ 700nm legs under both VFR and IFR but have never flown 2hrs VFR with an instructor, from one place to a different place > 50nm away. And I don't think this is unusual in UK PPL training.
A
night version of the above is much more unusual still.
Somebody reading this thread might think we are all being picky for no apparent reason, but I would have never thought about this stuff when I started. If I had known that I would later be doing the FAA PPL. FAA IR, FAA CPL, it would have been easy for me to arrange with the instructor to do the "right" flights.
