    FAR 61.65(d)(2)(A) A flight of 250 nautical miles along airways or by directed routing from an air traffic control facility

    It would be beneficial to find a fellow student to tag team this so you can get away from the local area for greater realism.

    Total distance, if you are flying IFR to an airport that is 125 NM away along airways and the same back to your original airport, then you have met the requirement.
