The FAA can review your logbook, they do for ATP candidates,
to see what you have done for your entire experience. Make
that sort of review quick and simple by noting which flights
were [will be] used to show flight experience that is
required to meet higher certificate qualifications.

an additional

| Ah, that makes sense. I saw the 10 hour requirement for
commercial &

10 hours on

| Hopefully the 50 hours I put down this time will satisfy
them...
