ATP Written

Yes, you are correct. You can count any flight that ends up more then 50mn from the departure point as cross-country time towards ATP.

Thanks for the reply. This helps because if this is the case then I can count traffic watch flights and flights to airport's 49nm miles away because I would end up flying 50nm on these flights.

I would try to find the answer in the FAR's just to be sure. I know the FARs say that for military flights, we just have to go farther than 50 miles from takeoff field to be counted as cross country time even though we usuallly come back to the same field. This is used for us because it is possible to go hundreds, even thousands of miles on a single flight that ends at the departure field. I'd hate to have the examiner tell you that you are wrong when he's checking out your logbook. The FARs ARE GOSPEL.

 

[ArcherB]

Well, this is how I interpreted the regs. I would hate to find out in the end that I really didn't have the requirements.

ALL ATP's is the way to go. Quick and easy!
