XCountry logging

Sorry to beat this dead horse.... Here is my trip:
Leg1 : 49.3 NM .6 Hobbs
Leg2 : 59.0 NM .6 Hobbs
Leg3 : 36.2 NM .4 Hobbs

How much of this can legally be logged as Cross Country Time?

All of it? Is it a trick question?

Probably all, perhaps none. Read 61.1 (b)(3). Possible catches: 1) Did
you land at any of those places? Was at least one of your landings at
least 50 nm straight-line distance from your point of departure?

Sorry for the confusion. Each leg resulted in a full stop. Leg 2 was
59 miles. All the distances I listed above were straight line
distances (I'm sure I flew further..lol)

Hmm ..... I thought I already replied to this, but it isn't showing
up, so if it repeats, I apologize.

All the distances listed above were straight line distances. I flew
each of these to a full stop landing. Therefore, Leg 2 of 59 NM I
know for a fact can be logged xcountry, but I'm unsure of the rest.
Sorry for the confusion.

of those three airports...

My suggestions remains to read 61.1 (b)(3). You can easily do that on
the Internet, but if you don't own a FAR/AIM, it's probably time to buy
one.

In short, assuming that all the other requirements were met(pilot
certification, type of aircraft etc.) you can log the whole flight as
long as one of your landings was at least 50 NM from your starting point.

If you redefine your starting point as starting at the begining
of leg two, then legs 2 and 3 can be logged, otherwise, none of
the landings were accomplished at a point more than 50 miles from
the original starting point.

Then again we have had posters in here whos aviation expertise didn't
extend past Microsoft Flight Simulator but who thought that sufficient
