I flew from Airport A to Airport B (did 1 touch-and-go) to Airport C
(did 1 touch and go) to airport D (did 3 touch and goes), then returned
to Airport A and landed. Airports A & D are greater than 50 nm apart.
Airports A&B, B&C, and C&D are less than 50 nm apart, respectively.

Should I log the entire flight as a 50nm Cross Country flight, or just
a portion? Should I delete the time spent doing touch and goes at
Airport D from the Cross Country time?





You can log the whole flight as cross country because you went farther
than 50NM from your home airport. However, a more practical question is,
does this flight really build your cross country experience? My guess is
no. So it really depends on what you are logging for.
