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. :ok:

so does that mean it cant be A to B then B to A even the distance between those two points are more than 65 nm?

That is just a requirement they have for ONE of the flights in the total of 200 hours. That particular flight with two intermediate stops have to be more than 300NM.
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.
