HKCAD Cross country definition?
Does anybody know what their definition is?
Problem is that X-C time in my logbook was originally logged with the purpose of getting my FAA ATPL and for that purpose you can use the (FAR 61.1(b)(3)(vi)) definition:
(vi) For the purpose of meeting the aeronautical experience requirements for an airline transport pilot certificate (except with a rotorcraft category rating), time acquired during a flight—
(A) Conducted in an appropriate aircraft;
(B) That is at least a straight-line distance of more than 50 nautical miles from the original point of departure; and
(C) That involves the use of dead reckoning, pilotage, electronic navigation aids, radio aids, or other navigation systems.

oh this one can get tricky
I hated their definition but
it's somewhere along the line of
a flight conducted to an aerodrome not less than 65 nm with two intermediate stops in between.
means u depart A , make a full stop at B, then depart B again make a full stop at C and then finally back to A.
A - B and B-C must be more than 65nm.

u must land at two or more aerodromes which excludes ur departing aerodrome
They also require two night cross countries more than 65NM.
I am talking in general here (The rest of the 200H+). What does HKCAD consider cross country. I just want to make sure the way I have logged it is ok with them.
Somebody told me the JAA definition is everytime you are 3NM from your field, but I find that hard to believe.
