Lasors says the flight must total 540km (300nm) and include landings at 2 intermediate aerodromes.
My problem is that my chosen flight is 298nm if you take straight lines between aerodromes. This is annoying because the flight is much longer than 300nm when you take into account the actual routing, but I accept that the CAA like to keep things simple by simply measuring straight lines between aerodromes rather than wasting time asking each candidate to prove their routing.
In any case, the switched-on amongst you will already have noticed that 540km is in fact 291.57nm. Does this mean that my 298nm XCQ does comply with the rule? I could change my intermediate aerodromes, but i quite like the idea of visiting each of them tomorrow.
I wonder whether the original rules merely refers to 540km and Lasors simply gives a rough conversion?
Any thoughts much appreciated.
