Would the OP please be so kind to clarify which IR he/she is referring to? I do not remember the cross country definition with regards to Part.FCL, but do have a column "FAA X-Country hours" since I had the pain to document this for the US IR - 50 hours x-country, where by definition x-country means flights from airport A to airport B with full stop landing and straight line distance between A and B a minimum of 50 nauticals or more. It took me quite some hours to dig out my logbooks and calculate direct distances between airports flown to. I had to guess some times still, as I had some touch&gos in there - which do not count, so I had to estimate time spent in traffic circuit for that (and it was disappointing that my most frequent coffee flight destination was 49nm from home field, so all these flights did not qualify for FAA X-Country).
