Still, seems to me if you're going to start logging flights 50NM
but without landings, then you ought to go back and figure out which flights
already exist in your log book that meet the same criteria.

When I got my commercial I had the minimum number of cross country
hours and all of my flights were all designed to count toward the
cross country. I can only remember 1 were I flew more than 50 miles
but turned back because of the weather, so it is not worth the trouble
of keeping a spinate log (I have them logged by date (every cross
country before my commercial had a landing).

When I was younger I used to drive around the beltway for fun (70
miles), now I fly around the Washington ADIZ and restricted areas for
fun (450 nm). That is almost a 4 hour cross country without a
landing.
