Commercial Cross Country night requirements.
Have question related to 61.129 3(iv) "One 2-hour cross country flight in a single engine airplane in nighttime conditions that consists of a total straight-line distance of more than 100 nautical miles from the original point of departure". Does this need to be one leg of two hours and obviously 100nm. In a 172 we will need over 200nm to make this work or can it be done by flying one leg of over 100nm with a landing then back to the departure airport to equate to 2 hrs of flight time? Thanks for any help on this!
