come on guys... the "rules defining cross country and logging time there of"
are no different for power or glider... Cross country time logged for the purpose of meeting the requirements towards a pilot rating, a touch down must occur at a point at least 50nm from where you started, does not say flight has to terminate.. There is no accumulated cross country time requirement for glider ratings. You can LOG cross country as soon as you take off and go no where... it just don't count for beans... I know, I've been following people around the traffic pattern so far out that I felt I could have logged cross country time... Based on the 50nm rule, there is an exception written to cover military training flights where the flight would take off and land at the same location, but in the intervening time of 1 to a dozen hours, could have crisscrossed the entire country (yes I've done that more than a few times).. to count as cross country. (61.1(b) (3)) and the exemption for the military pilot (61.1(b)(3)(vii)) Sorry, but there is no exception for the round robin glider pilot. BT "Bruce Hoult" wrote in message ... In article . net, "f.blair" wrote: I saw a posting on a web site about Steve Fossett's around the world flight. Just think, since he landed at the same airport that he took off from, he can't log that flight as 'cross country flight'. Under powered aircraft rules, that's true. Strange, isn't it? -- Bruce | 41.1670S | \ spoken | -+- Hoult | 174.8263E | /\ here. | ----------O---------- |
