Private Pilot Cross Country Requirements – distance of first leg
Asked by: Dave Houlbrooke 13470 views Private Pilot, Student Pilot
"Solo Cross Country Requirements for private pilot certificate is 150NM total distance with full stop landings at 3 locations and one segment is at least 50NM straight line distance between the takeoff and landing airports."
For example, A - B = 40 NM, B-C = 70 NM, C-A = 42 NM
I believe this satisfies the requirements, but other folks here seem to indicate that the first leg should be greater than 50NM and the confusion arises when defining the takeoff and landing airport
