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?
