Definition of Aussie X-Country
howdy,
i am trying to meet the aeronautical experience requirements for the issuance of the aussie atpl. however, i can not find what the definition for x-c is. i have the CARs and have looked in definitions under Pt 1, but still no mention of a distance from the departure point. the defintion mentions how a pilot uses nav aids, topography and/or geometry to determine the aircrafts position and course whilst flying along a route. am i to understand that if i depart a field with a vortac and fly outbound on an airway for 10 nm, note my position and then return, then i have completed a x-c flight and can now count this towards the 200 hrs required ? what am i missing ? any help would be appreciated. i have searched and only found info on nz definitons.
cheers
