Commercial 250nm VFR flight - all 3 landings on the same day?

Yes, it is the "book" that tells an FAA Inspector (General
Aviation) how to do every task they do and since it is
on-line they stopped the other letters.

Where did they say it's "no good anymore"?
http://www.faa.gov/regulations_polic...pector_orders/

There are over 20 PDF files on that link. It's a good site, but none of
them (by their titles) give me a clue as to rescinding the FAQ. Which
one is it? (so I don't have to download and read 20 PDFs)

for Email, make the obvious change in the address.

I haven't downloaded all of them either.

Ok, in which one did you read that the FAQ is no longer valid?

None, that wasn't my point in posting the link. Having
those Inspector manuals on-line makes the FAQs unneeded, you
have the direct source.

I disagree. The FARs should make the FAQ unnecessary, but that
obviously isn't the case. And the point wasn't that the FAQs were
"unneeded", it was that they "no longer mirror the FAA policy", implying
that the policy changed, or that the answers in the FAQ are now incorrect.

It is good to have these Inspector manuals available however.

The FAR makes a lawyer necessary, they are written by
lawyers.

This may seem strange to Americans but pilots doing FAA
certificates/ratings outside the USA are doing them under a regime
where you never know which US$500/checkride DPE you are going to get,
or indeed if one will turn up at all when you have done your training.

I did my IR in Arizona for this reason, but examiners are again
becoming available outside the USA which is why I am trying to do the
Commercial stuff here.

In England, the 300nm flight is difficult especially going 250nm from the
start point. It invariably means its an international trip or over a lot of
water.

I manage to squeeze my in by a trip from Southend to Lands End and back to
Elstree via Plymouth and Henstridge.

The thought of having to go to France or across to Ireland was too much and
the weather was too bad for Scotland (and that would have meant Glasgow.

When you look at the shape of Great Britain you can see the problem.
