Cross-Country Training Lesson 19 Solo/Long Cross-Country

This solo cross-country should be so planned as to meet the private certification requirement for the long cross-country. Landings must be made at three airports, one of which is at least 100 nautical miles from the point of departure. The flight must cover at least 300 nautical miles. A flight plan should be filed and the preflight briefing by the instructor should be particularly thorough. Anticipate 5 hours for this flight. With the preceding two solo cross-countries included, the requirement for solo cross-country flight time of 10 hours to airports at least 50 nautical miles from the home field should be met.

This lesson may be switched with Lessons 20 or 21, when required by weather or scheduling problems.
