There is not requirement that they be VFR cross countries, it only
specifies cross country hours. Some of my X-C hours were dual in actual

I didn't look up the reg, but would think even if it doesn't violate
the letter of the law, doing your VFR cross countries under the hood
would violate the intent of the law.

What VFR skills are honed under the hood?
