Q on 250nm IR training X/C flight

My point is that nowhere does it say you have to go to 3 airports for
the long x-c. Only that you do 3 different types of approaches.

There's no reason you can't do two approaches of different types at one
airport and a different type back home. I did an ILS, then went missed
and came around for a VOR, then a LOC at the end of the return leg.

That's true, but you have to go to three different airports anyway.
Why not just do a different approach at each?

However, my wording was incorrect. I said that you had to fly a
different approach at each airport, and that's not a requirement;
only that you have three airports, and (at least) three different
IAPs.

You know, I would have sworn I read 'three separate airports', but looking
over it now, it's just not there. I guess I've been listening to my CFII
too much and not reading enough for myself.

Time to hit the FARs...

Thanks for clarifying that.
