2) What is the difference between:
Solo & PIC

Solo means sole occupant of the airplane
PIC means loggable pilot in command time under FAR 61.51
Solo is loggable as PIC, but not all PIC is solo.

Cross Country Solo : Cross country PIC
Xc solo is a cross-country flight in which you were the only person in
the airplane
Xc PIC is a cross-country flight in which you were either solo of had
loggable PIC time under 61.51

Night takeoff/landing : Night takeoff/landing PIC

A night takeoff and landing is loggable when you were the sole
manipulator of the controls during the night takeoff or landing

A night takeoff and landing as PIC is a night takeoff and landing
when you were the sole manipulator of the controls during the night
takeoff or landing and had loggable PIC time under 61.51.


Does all of the time I have received dual at night
count for Night Instruction received even if I was
doing it under the hood and the instruction wasn't
necessarily "night" related?

Of course it does. 61.51 tells us to log the conditions of flight. If
the flight took place in simulated instrument conditions at night,
both simulated instrument and night are the conditions of flight.

And for that matter,
does all the time that I had XC with my instructor
count as "Cross country instruction received?"

Sure. If your CFI endorsed it as an instructional flight and it was a
xc, then it was a xc instructional flight

What I guess is that "solo" time means when you are
not receiving dual.

No. "solo" means that you are "solo" - the only person in the
aircraft.


I am surprised that the FAA doesn't have this in their
FAQ.

Maybe because it's so simple? Besides, most of this =is= in the FAQ.
