So out of that 2.0 flight if you fly at 1.5 nm per min(avg for C172) you can only count 1.2. can anyone else confirm or deny this? Thanks.
The time spent doing touch and goes cannot be logged as XC because you're just landing at the same airport over and over and over again. The time spent going to and from that airport is XC.

Why worry about nm/min? Just look at your Hobbs. Or your watch. How ever long it takes you is what you log... no need to average anything.
