Default Cross Country Minimums


That's an interesting rule. It seems to imply that pilots who are not
good at XC flying are more likely to transition to the Jantar than
those who never land out on a long flight or only select airports if
they must land. *The rule would be satisfied *by 37.5 local flying
hours and 5 hopeless cross country attempts each lasting 0.5 hours

Wouldn't simulated off airport landings in the Jantar be a more useful
requirement?

I understand where you're coming from but if off field landings
automatically imply that a pilot is not very good at flying XC then
I'm REALLY bad...
