Where is the restriction that flights must start and end at the same airport listed?
My understanding was land aways are ok within the 25 miles of origin, but of course you can't leapfrog consecutive 25 milers to cheat the system.

So hypotheticals....

I take off from my home base and fly 20 miles East, land and a while later take off and fly 40 miles West, another landing and takeoff, then back to home... Never went outside the 25 mile limit from home base... Legal.

Scenario 2. I take off and fly that same strip 20 miles East, land and take off and continue on to the next strip 10 miles further East... I'm now 30 miles from home base and CASA slaps me about.

Scenario 3. I take of and fly my 20miles East and land. Two days later I take off and fly 23 miles east and land... Now I'm within the 25 miles from my point of origin, but 43 miles from home... My read would be legal, but what does CASA say? Just how long do I need between flights so that they don't consider home field the origin?

Could be some issues arise till the explanations are clear...
