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?
Any flight where you land some place other than your point of departure is a
cross country flight and you should log the entire time. Also, you landed
more than 50 nm from your original point of departure so you can also count
that as cross country time for those pilot ratings or certificates that
require that.
The regulations say nothing about intermediate stops. You can make as many
as you like. Some people hop around more than a flea in a hot pan. Nothing
says you can't.
