plus (at least) 10% of _that_ total. If you want to survive the 1st

Uh-uh. No weather diversions necessary. Note: Sport Pilots may not fly at

Wait a minute there, the lunar days are about 28 times as long as
ours. Spending all that time on the dark side of the moon may make
currency requirements difficult- say you don't log enough takeoffs or
landings for an entire lunar day, plus the prior and following lunar
nights, do the math, it's a long time and that's gonna be tough!
