You can endorse them for a one time trip to an unfamiliar airport.

What if prior to solo cross countries the student went to airports with a different instructor. The student then changed instructors, and received endorsements for solo cross countries. Do the airports that he/she visited with the prior instructor still count as receiving training at the airport, and is the student pilot eligible to make solo cross countries to those airports?

Hey Joey,
The above listed reg is what I used for determining whether its needed or not. The FAA lists it for repeated cross countries and within 25 NM. If you did a solo to KLAL and you had a mid-air, I dont think the FAA would care one way or the other if you had been there with a previous instructor, they would care much more about what recent instruction you had received.
Basically it boils down to the fact that on solo cross country flights, the student is flying on the instructors certificates. Perhaps you could "legally" do a cross country to an airport you had not been to with that specfic instructor but would it be a good idea? Think worst case scenario.
Plus you'll be a private pilot in about 6 months, thats not to long until you can fly anywhere.
Call me if you've got any other questions

haha Matt how you doing? I meant to call you, looks like August is the days im looking at for the commercial...giving it a little time, but want to get it done prior to classes starting.
anyway i thought about that question when i was looking through endorsements and couldn't seem to find the reg..that's why i was a little thrown off. makes sense though.
