Touchdown! Greaser!
Arghh. I'm in the middle of my IR training, and still building my 50 XC hours. I suspected that FAR Sec. 61.65(d)'s "pilot in command" requirement meant something, so I went back and checked, and I had 9.2 hours of dual XC time while earning my PPL (a result of going through 3 CFIs in 22 months). SO, I need to add another 10 hours to my goal, leaving me 28 XC hours left to get.
My CFII said that we would get about 5 XC hours during that phase of my IR instruction, so bottom line is I'll be traveling around a lot this fall.
I was considering doing a long XC, and add to my "states I've landed in" list. One idea was to go down to Purdue, over to Peoria, down to Hannibal, MO, up through Iowa to Rochester and back to Wisconsin. That would knock out about 10 hours, but I refuse to just keep doing the same relatively short XCs over and over. The goal is to learn something, right?
Anyway, I'd love to hear if anyone else (well, besides Kent , because we can see what his advice would be!) has some good Midwestern XC ideas.
