I agree, who can fly 5 hours probably can do 300k or even 500k in a
"hot" ship. I differ with you there. Each places a different demand on the skills of the pilot. A five hour flight can be done "flag poling" around the home field with no fear of landing out. The only challenge is finding the next thermal, which are probably all house thermals, relieving your bladder, and staying comfortable. A cross country flight requires all these elements, plus navigation, strategy, and technique. Jim Vincent CFIG N483SZ illspam
