Look up the definition of cross-country flight. It must satisfy several
requirements, such as:
- the flight must include a landing at a point farther than 50NM from the
original point of departure
- the flight must include a landing at a point other than the point of
departure
- the flight must involve navigation (dead reckoning, pilotage, electronic
etc..)

Is it even possible to satisfy 1 & 2 but not 3?


I suppose that it would depend on how you define pilotage. Under certain
exceptionally clear conditions after a weather front passed through, I have been in a
position at 3,000' to see a large landmark which I know to be right beside a
particular airport which is over 50 miles away. Some people might not regard a direct
flight to that airport as pilotage, since it doesn't use intermediate waypoints.
Perhaps the person who wrote that clause is one of these people.

That is absolutely pilotage.
