24,000 mile scenic?

When Steve Fossett gets back from his round the world flight and sits
down to fill out his logbook, it's a bit strange that he won't be able
to log any cross country time.

But if I recall my logging rules, if you want to log cross country time
it must include a landing more then 50 miles from your point of origin.
If he nakes it all the way he won't have that.

Take-off and land at the same airport = local (not cross country) flight!

I think a note included will let him log it. g

In a previous article, "Roger Long" said:

I think they recently (after Voyaguer) made some sort exception to the
"landing 50 miles away" rule for round-the-world flights.

The 50nm rule only applies to cros country flights to qualify for the PP
certificate. Any flight where you landed at another airport is loggable as
CC

But Mike he won't have landed at another airport. It's going to look
like hundreds of hours of go arounds at his home airport in the logbook

Yes, I know. I was responding to your assertion that you have to land 50nm
from your point of origin to log a flight as cross country. That is not
correct.

Sure he can log it as cross-country.

It's a valid cross-country towards an ATP certificate.
14 CFR 61.1(b)(3)(vi) only requires a straight line distance of more
than 50 miles, and doesn't require any landings.

That's the only thing it could be used for in terms of cross-country
time, but he can still log it that way.

Jeez you guys need to lighten up a bit. It was a joke...:-)
