Logging cross country time, after commercial certificate.
Asked by: cbrw 6189 views Commercial Pilot, FAA Regulations
So I am currently a commercially certificated pilot. It just dawned upon me the other day that you can technically log every flight as a cross country flight so long as the destination is different than the original point of departure (correct me if I am wrong). I have not been doing this, as I believed cross country was still considered any straight line distance greater than 50nm and to an airport different than the departure. SO before I make any major alterations to my former logbook entries, and how I record cross country time in the future, I'd like to make sure about it. Probably the biggest thing I cannot figure out (I even called the FSDO and no one called me back) is if I am building cross country time for ATP, does the cross country definition of "greater than 50nm straight line distance..." apply for ATP? Or is it any considered any distance so long as the destination is different than the point of departure? Thanks!
