I realise it's different over here, but in the UK the QXC pilot is given a
pre-flight authorisation form which allows him to visit only the airfields
on that form. A representative at that airfield (usually someone from ATC or
similar) has to sign the form, and rate the landing and overall airmanship
at each of the (I think) two landaways. If he lands anywhere else,
authorisation for the flight is immediately cancelled and cannot proceed
without permission of (I think) the Chief Flying Instructor of the school
concerned.
