Cross-country flight time refers to the duration of a flight that covers a significant distance, typically between two airports, and may or may not involve landing at intermediate points. The specific definition of "cross-country" can vary depending on context, particularly in pilot training.
Key Points:
-
FAA (U.S.) Definition for Pilot Training: For private pilot certification, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) defines cross-country flight time as a flight that is at least 50 nautical miles away from the point of departure.
-
General Aviation: Cross-country flights typically imply longer journeys, often covering distances between airports that are farther apart and may involve more complex navigation.
The flight time for cross-country is recorded from departure to arrival, and it is a required part of training for various pilot certificates (e.g., private, commercial) to ensure that pilots gain experience navigating over longer distances.
