So it would be interesting to have a view of the distance from base people typically fly (and exceptionally), since obviously 0.5 at 90kts is not far compared to 0.5 at 185kts and several legs to southern Spain is very different from several short bimbles with no land aways.
I very rarely bimble and my figures are approx 6000NM in 45 legs. Most of my flights are x-country, i.e. not returning to base on same flight. Exceptions tend to be what I call 'insurance flights'. As I am regularly renting at more than one location, I sometimes need to fly a certain type of a/c at a certain club / FBO - even for 30 mins - to remain current from an insurance point of view.
