Yes, noggin - but it's all a matter of interpretation. Such as the 'recommendation' for an observed flight test for FE re-authorisation being mis-interpreted as being mandatory by you chaps at the CAA!
It doesn't specify in JAR-FCL 1.245 that the 'flight of at least an hour's duration' has to be made as a single continuous flight; I consider that a flight including an intermediate landing as I've suggested is an entirely reasonable and acceptable means of compliance. Incidentally, it says that the flight must be made with a flight instructor - does that mean Flight Instructor or flight instructor (including a CRI, for example)?
