VA Aviator
Pre-takeoff checklist
For background, I just flew for the first time since 2008. Prior to this, I was very very familiar with the regs, LOIs, FAA orders, ACs and more. However, I stopped flying and paying attention to the changes.
NOW - I'm getting back into it, with the goal of getting my commercial certificate. I was going through my logbooks and trying to figure out what I did and didn't have. I noticed a few changes - the biggest one I noticed being that you don't have to do the 300NM trip solo and can now do that with an instructor.
I also started looking around and came across a few things that seem to have changed. See here:

This could seriously screw me. Specifically:
I'm instrument rated. I've got 10+ hours of training in actual and simulated IMC.
I had a 4 hour round robin cross country flight with an instructor in day VFR (partially simulated instrument) in 2004
I had a 3.2 hour round robin cross country flight with an instructor in night VFR (partially simulated instrument) in 2003
So, am I OK to credit this time toward my commercial certificate, or did this whole venture just go up in price to the tune of $2,000?
