For me personally, the number of flights I
make 50 NM out but don't land are minimal and 500 hours XC even only for
those flights with a landing is not very far away. I'll reach that
comfortably before I reach 1500 hours. Obviously, for other pilots, the
situation may well be exactly reversed.

As it is for me (reversed , that is). I've got hundreds of
hours more than 50 nm away without a landing. I can think of
two flights totaling over 20 hours and 1400 miles in that
category. It's tough to get back home in a glider if you
land somewhere. Most of the time, when I log XC, it's a
failure.
