300 hours plus an instrument rating, as well as 25 hours actual IMC (I
think that was the number).

AFNE's literature does say 25 hours of IMC, but they told me it was a
typo--they merely require 25 hours of total instrument time. (Otherwise, I
wouldn't have been able to fly for them yet.) I'd guess that most
recreational pilots don't get more than a couple of hours of IMC per year.
