Default Takeoff/Landing same direction?

the DPE could provide.


I probably did, but the DPE left before discussing his view, so I don't
know.

Thanks for your responses fellows, I guess I didn't word my question as
well as I could have.
This was not an attack on the DPE, just trying to get an idea on
whether there is any rule or reg that says you have to land in the same
direction as you took off from.

The consensus was that you can land either way so long as you can do it
safely. Sure there are mitigating circumstances, but in this particular
case (uncontrolled field, no other traffic, wind sock
barely moving) a 10 minute flight at the end of the day, the group
think is that it really didn't matter which way he landed.

So to be clear:

Is there any rule or reg that specifies you have to land in the same
direction you took off from at the same airport?

Thanks in advance,
Willie G.
