how would you log this?

All cross country.

However, for future ratings (ie ATP), I would have a separte "accounting" of cross countries that are greater than 50 nm, ie RFD-MDW.
 
Thanks guys. Do you have a reg offhand to back this up? Rumor was a while ago one of the FSDO guys round here decided to audit some peoples logbooks and revoked/made some redo training for improperly logging time...

Look up the regs for what defines a cross country, and then the definition as it applies to the ATP.

You mean we have logbooks now?!? And here I have been keeping track of all my time on scrap pieces of paper. Talk about hard to organize for an interview! :D

Don't worry....lackadaisical record keeping will be encouraged at wegougeemandhow. Helping keep our crewing and mx costs low.
 
Well, I suppose I should take back my answer until you tell me whether the logging is just X-C logging in general, or for the purposes of meeting the aeronautical experience requirements of a certificate or rating, and if so, which certificate or rating.

The answers can be found in 61.1(b)(3).

My first answer still stands (it's all cross-country) if you are just logging cross country time. If you are logging it for Private, Commercial, ATP certificates or Instrument rating, then NONE of it is cross-country time. If you are logging it towards a Sport Pilot (powered parachute or not), Rotorcraft, and a few other ratings, the ALL of it is cross-country time.

Read 61.1 then come back with any additional questions you might have.
 
I would log the RFD-MDW-DPA as one XC flight. DPA - RFD would not qualify as XC (using the 50NM Aero Experience required for Comm, Ins etc)

Here's the condensed version for the lazy, like me :)

(3) Cross-country time means--[...]
(ii) For the purpose of meeting the aeronautical experience requirements[...]
(B) That includes a point of landing that was at least a straight-line distance of more than 50 nautical miles from the original point of departure...

WTF? Unless your presenting your logbook for a checkride if some d.s. from the FSDO asked to see my logbook I'd have to tell him no. What gives him the right?

Wouldn't the RFD-MDW be XC for the purpose of IR XC time because that leg was greater than 50 nm?
