Does the landing make it count as 2 separate flights instead of one 250nm flight? 61.65(d)(2)(iii)(a) For an instrument-airplane rating, instrument training on cross crountry flight procedures specific to airplanes that includes at least one cross country flight in an airplane that is performed under IFR, and consists of -- (A) a distance of at least 250nm along airways or ATC-directed routing.

When you took your private pilot long x-c, did the fact that you landed at one or more airports negate the logging of the trip?

Have you found a definition of "flight" (for this context)? :) It has been said many times that you could fly to a vacation spot, spend a few days on the beach enjoying your beverage of choice while the plane never moves, then fly home at the end of the week and still count it as one flight. Or you could count it as two flights. :) -- John T http://tknowlogy.com/TknoFlyer http://www.pocketgear.com/products_search.asp?developerid=4415 ____________________ Back to top BTIZ Guest Posted: Fri Jul 09, 2004 4:14 am    Post subject: Re: dumb q about 250nm instrument XC as long as it is 3 different types of approaches.. the cross country is done under the hood or in IFR conditions.. and with an IFR flight plan in ATC control... and you have your CFII with you.. not a safety pilot..
