Yes, but if I were an 'airliner magenta line minder' I'd presumably already have one.

I understand they are trying to replicate the CPL QXC, it's just that it seems a bit perverse to require it to be VFR. If I had a Cirrus with autopilot it would be a doddle. IFR in a 45-year-old PA28 with nothing more sophisticated than VOR/DME it's hard, and it's ironic that I might not meet the criteria despite having easily exceeded the mileage and landaway requirements during Project Propeller 2016. (Benson-Shoreham-Leeds East-Shoreham-Benson, with the first two landings off IAPs (Doncaster ILS in the first case), the second two VFR in highly marginal vis.)

I'll check the logbook - I did PP once before and I think it was all VFR (Benson-Bournemouth-Wickenby and back should cover the mileage!)
