Thanks, Jeff. That’s what I was curious about. I understand it’s not >50nm, but I can’t get there w/o flying > 50nm, ha! I doubt that it’s relevant, but this R-space is in continuous use (over Fort Bragg). And to nitpick... whose 50nm figure would the FSDO use... the one from Skyvector...

Slight hijack... One of the fields I’ll fly to is 49 nm direct. However, there is restricted airspace that pushes the flight out to about 57 nm as I fly around it. How should a flight like that be logged, officially?

Thanks for all the replies... that's the kind of info I was looking for. I'm lucky that I don't have any serious medical concerns (yet), but I still want to play it safe/educated. Thanks again. :) Appreciated the chuckle here, too:

Hi guys and girls. I'm new to the board and relatively new to the cockpit. My name is John and I fly out of KTTA in beautiful North Carolina. I've been lurking here a while, and have found it a great resource... thank you. I look forward to the day when I have valuable knowledge and experience...

Just my $0.02... I think that flying is easier to do, but much more difficult/intensive to plan. Planning is just as important as the mechanical skill of flying. Driving takes more "at this moment" attention, but you don't have to plan very thoroughly. I'll vote that driving is easier overall...
