Cross Country Tasks

Cross Country Training

Many of these could be flown in a club 2-seater with an instructor. Several of these afford the luxury of remaining within a safe gliding distance of the airport [or other landable spots such as the Grass-Strip] while permitting practice in holding a heading, finding, entering and leaving lift, and then proceeding on course to predetermined checkpoints. These are all prerequisites for a cross country flight.

50km
S
ilver Badge Distance
50km= 27nm= 31.1sm. Distance needed for the FAI Silver badge.

Many of these could be flown in a club 2-seater with an instructor first before going solo. Look for a route such as Auburn that allows you to fly over landable spots such as the Grass-Strip, R/C Field, and Lanett on your way to Auburn. Also look to avoid Controlled Airspace. You are encouraged to discuss flight plans with an instructor beforehand.

The badge requirement is for 50km only, so a one way flight is all that is needed. However this list shows Out & Return of 100k which is not necessary, just more convenient to come back.
