51.2 Hours Cross Country PIC,
Well today's flight to the KDLS Put me Over 50 hours X-C You can view my
Excel Log of the times http://www.warflying.net/xc I can now relax abit I worked hard on the 50 Hours PIC X-C. Thursday if my instructor can get in to Portland I will be getting my instrument written sign off and then I will be getting the instrument written out of the way also. Now I am going to work on my solo time of 5 Hours of night and a 300NM X-C I think I will take a week to plan it out I know it needs to be 300NM strait line of 250NM with 3 stops. Can we count the return trip as part of the 300NM trip. The wife and kid are going to be bummed out because they like flying with me and they will not get to go but that means no one to have a conversation with also: ( |

I know it needs to be 300NM strait line of 250NM with 3 stops. Can we count the return trip as part of the 300NM trip. Yes. Nothing says that it can't be round robin. The 250NM straight line distance ensures sufficient cross countryishness. Jose -- (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address) |

If you are working on your instrument rating... I do not know where the
300nm XC comes in.. But.. the 250nm X-C is "instrument training on cross country flight procedures specific to airplanes that includes at least one cross country flight in an airplane that is performed under IFR and consists of (A) a distance of at least 250nm along airways or ATC routings (B) an instrument approach at each airport (C) Three different kinds of approaches with use of the navigation systems. (FAR61.65(d)((iii)) To me that means you bring your CFII and sign it off as dual received or it don't count.. and you need to fly it under IFR rules (with an ATC clearance?) and under the hood or in actual IFR conditions and it can be a 250nm round robin with the 3rd approach being back at home airport. The Family can come along and sit in the back and watch you suffer if they want.. but you can always chit chat with the CFII if they chose not to join you. I think you are confusing the Commercial requirement under FAR61.129(a)(4)(i) which describes a SOLO cross country flight requirement of at least 300nm with the farthest airport being a straight line distance from departure of at least 250nm. And in that case.. SOLO means no family. glad to see your making progress BT "NW_PILOT" wrote in message ...
