Poita, taking a wild stab in the dark here but I'm guessing the fact that you called it a circuit, instead of a traffic pattern, implies you're a colonial of one sort or another.
The FAA's definition of X-Country is a take off and landing at different airports, with a straight line distance of 50nm between them. For the purposes of logging the required X-Country time for an FAA ATP, I'm pretty sure you only have to fly 50 nm away from your destination. Not sure, it's been a while since I had to think about X-C time.
Looking through the info they send out for the interview, it looks like the JCAB have another definition of X-C time. I hope I'm wrong because I'm not looking forward to going through 4 of those bloody Jepp logbooks, to work it out! |
