Of course. I have a few flights which would be for example:
Distance 1 : 17NM
Distance 2 : 80NM
Distance 3 : 80NM
Distance 4 : 17NM
TT: 2.0
BUT...I would add 1.7 in the XC for a rating column. The 34 miles that do not constitue as a XC for a rating are omitted.

The FAR's say it is completely legal to log a 5NM flight as a CC, but when happens when you go to interview and the company realizes half of your CC time is less than 50NM flights and rejects it, just like some 121 operators reject certain types of PIC time?
Personally, I have never bothered to make a new column for less than 50NM cross country's...I just don't see the point. I can't apply them to the ATP, and by the time I have my ATP i'll be ready to move to either 121 or 135, making the point moot. |
I see what you are saying. I also don't plan on building all my xc time with 5nm trips either. I am just adding this column because it's a nice way to really break it down into it's catagories. Just my opinion. I know everyone has their ways, but I see where you're coming from.
