Cross country distance
Asked by: R.W Williams 4626 views FAA Regulations, General Aviation, Instrument Rating
A quick question on a flight with multiple legs, and counting this flight as Cross Country - for the instrument rating requirement.
Say the flight has 4 legs, and they are in order 28, 17, 19 and 62. The last leg brings you back to the first airport of departure. Can this be counted as a XC flight for the Instrument Rating?
According to my current instructor: No. His reasoning is that the first leg has to be 50 + NM.
Other instructors say: as long as one leg is more than 50 NM, it should be good.
What say you?
