Sounds to me day one hit the requirement as long as one leg was 250nm straight line from the departure.
Was it solo or with a CFI and did at any point the CFI do anything that remotely sounds like instruction or take the wheel?
Was this flying or driving? And was Uber involved at all?
Day 1 , the legs weren’t 250 nm apart. But from home base it’s 315 nm to the destination.
If that’s a requirement then the cost of a commercial cert just went updepends. at any time, did you, er, your buddy pull the chute?
Ironically, I pretty much witnessed the majority of your commercial cross country...from exactly 3nm away and about 200 ft above Way to go manSolo. Wait, another POA-er flew in his own plane 3 nm apart. @sinister might know him
And a hot single FBO babe with an extrodinary gift for finding cheap hotel rooms...I shoulda gave her crap about thatThere were some crew cars involved .... but most were flying
I thought at least one leg of the commercial xc had to be 250nm?
Damn I just missed mine by 28nm...argghhh!
I've been trying to figure out why one would think this requirement was not met.250nm from point of departure. So if you stop every 100 nm is okay as long as that last stop is at least 250nm from original departure.
One cross-country flight of not less than 300 nautical miles total distance, with landings at a minimum of three points, one of which is a straight-line distance of at least 250 nautical miles from the original departure point.
Dunno the exact route, but It looks like each day counts all by itself. And if they didn't, the 2-day trip would count even with the overnight.I think the main point he wanted clarified is that there was an overnight during his solo cross country and that it still counts.

Sounds like a great trip, although Day 2 by itself wouldn't qualify since there was only one point of landing and not "landings at a minimum of three points."Route:
KFAR - KFSD - 200 nm - meet @Sinistar . his route. KGYL - KFSD 134.8
KFSD - KOMA - 141.8 nm
KOMA - KALO - 173.6 nm - overnight at KALO
Day 2 - KALO - KFAR - 322.7 for me.
it was an awesome experience. we had planned on Day 2 to go further east and may be touch KLSE and KEAU but winds were picking up at both our airports and i had a LLWS warning. we headed back home directly instead of going to 2 other airports and then deal with 20G25 winds with potential for LLWS when we are tired. approach to KFAR was interesting, i asked for practice ILS on 18 and got vectored around for about 20 mins. at 2500 had about 40 kt headwind from west, that changes to 20G24 from SW at about 600 AGL, luckily didnt hit a shear, but i can see why they issued the LLWS warning.
we had initially planned for a whole week of flying, initially to westerly heading, but that didnt pan out due to WX twice so far this year. even this week, the only 2 days we could find was Tuesday and Wednesday. crap moving in to Fargo shortly and going to be IMC till Saturday at least. man..its impossible to plan 3-4 days out for 2 mere new VFR pilots
