But you don't have to have been PIC on the flight [...]
As the sole-manipulator [...] a private pilot [...] can log IFR/IMC flight time
as PIC time, [...]. And then, according to 61.51c1, the time so logged
can be used to meet the requirements


Hmmm... looking further back, 61.65(d) starts out "must have logged the
following: (1) at least 50 hours...

So, maybe you're right. In fact, I now think you are right. I learn something

me off that the regulation-perverse FAA is so flippin' vaugue about the
important
stuff.


I'm with you there!
