I have a quick query about the FAA CPL QXC, and thought rather than start a new thread I'd ask here. FAR 61.129 states in the requirements:
4) 10 hours of solo flight in a single-engine airplane on the areas of operation listed in Sec. 61.127(b)(1) of this part, which includes at least--
(i) One cross-country flight of not less than 300 nautical miles total distance, with landings at a minimum of three points, one of which is a straight-line distance of at least 250 nautical miles from the original departure point.
What isn't clear to me is whether this QXC has to be done during the CPL course or whether I can do it on my own as is done under the JAA rules?
