NEW Sporting Code rules
Exactly as Tony said.
A flight where you stay wishin glide of the airport is not a cross country flight, it is a local flight. Another way to look at it: a flight without any risk of landout is not a true cross country flight, regardless of distance. In some places you can easily score 500km OLC flight by climbing to 18K and yoyo around the airport without ever getting out of glide. This is still a local flight, not a cross country flight...
