Ideas for a commercial long x-c?

Try StGeorge UT...
when I did my long x-c for the commercial.. I launched from VGT and
"repositioned" to Mesquite NV. And started my "official" x-c from there.
Mesquite to SanDiego Gillespie field did the trick.

Maybe you can go south first.. land.. regroup and start your 250nm x-c from
the southern point to VGT or Mesquite or St George. Then return to
Hawthorne.

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately Las Vegas is only 203 miles
so it isn't far enough. Phoenix is 317 which is a little far... I'm
looking for something just over 250. I don't have charts for that area
yet, I gotta stop by the airport after work today.

Kingman, AZ is 231nm if flown direct but I bet you could bend your route
around some getting out of SoCal airspace and stretch it to 250.X ..

Bending routes does not count... it is straight line distance.

otherwise I could go south, 100nm, east 50 nm and north 100nm and be maybe
50nm from home. Does not count.

thinking something more easterly.

I'll be in a Cessna 172RG. I'm just going to fly out and back, departing
Hawthorne in the afternoon so the return leg will be at night and count
towards my 5 solo night hours.


Is Rose Aviation still there at Hawthorne??

Add a few land marks in between that'll make the trip long enough and
more interesting, instead of flying direct. :)

White Plains to Key West, about 1100 miles each way.

I think Lakeland, FL will be much much too long for his need. :)

That doesn't work, you can reposition to a "departure point"
that is far enough away to meet the requirements. There is
nothing wrong with exceeding the 250 mile distance.
