I flew from Airport A to Airport B (did 1 touch-and-go) to Airport C
(did 1 touch and go) to airport D (did 3 touch and goes), then returned
to Airport A and landed. Airports A & D are greater than 50 nm apart.
Airports A&B, B&C, and C&D are less than 50 nm apart, respectively.

Should I log the entire flight as a 50nm Cross Country flight, or just
a portion? Should I delete the time spent doing touch and goes at
Airport D from the Cross Country time?





You can log the whole flight as cross country because you went farther
than 50NM from your home airport. However, a more practical question is,
does this flight really build your cross country experience? My guess is
no. So it really depends on what you are logging for.


Are you planning on using the time for a certificate or rating? If so, none
of it is loggable, as each leg was 50 nm. BUT, for any other purpose,
(part 135 or 121 experience, insurence) it IS cross country, as defined
elsewhere in the regs, as any point to point flight.
