Pre-Flight
First some stipulations.
A friend is working on his Helicopter IR.
He has the ability to get stick time free, however there are geographic limits to where he can fly. Now remember that for the helo it only has to be 25nm to be cross country. So:
Part 1
If he takes offf from airport A and flies north 8nm and lands at airport B. Logs the time as PIC (not Cross Country) then starts a new flight that goes 26 nm South and makes a landing. It is only about 18nm from airport A, but a new flight was originated at airport B. Does this count?
Part 2
After making the landing 26nm away from airport B then takes off and flies around within his geographic boundries for the next 2 hours. Can he log all of that time (except the time from airport A to airport B ) as cross country?
