Well lets get this topic up and running. Got all my signatures for my QXC last Saturday :D so one less hurdle out of the way. Next up is some revision and then the skills test and then I have to decide whether to go Onex or Sonex, the Sonex being already approved in the UK.

Sounds like congratulations are in order... however I dont know what a QXC is. I am assuming a cross country endorsement for englands pilot certification?

thanks! it is a good thing, well it is if you get it signed off OK. In England for a PPL we have to do a solo Qualifying Cross Country flight of 150nm or more with three full stop landings at three different airports/fields and get each leg signed off. We have to do that before the skills test. It took pretty much all day to do after a check flight planning and paperwork etc.

Ah, in the US we have something similar, we just call it the "long cross country" (we have to do a "long" one and a "short" one).

Sounds just like one of our solo requirements.
"One solo cross-country flight of at least 150 nmi (280 km) total distance, with full-stop landings at a minimum of three points and with one segment of the flight consisting of a straight-line distance of at least 50 nmi (93 km) between the takeoff and landing locations"
edit: sorry Andy I didnt see you'd already posted about our long cross country.
