TC's definition of X-Country?

[MCB]

XC time requires you to land at an aerodrome SEPARATE from your point of departure. The whole 25 mile rule does not apply to XC time....but distance req'd to file a flight plan

On my PPL flight test and during training, I diverted from overhead one town to overhead another town. Still logged it as x-country time as I was definitely using navigation procedure

I think this was mentioned earlier, but wouldn't this mean that those around the world flights are not considered xc?

26,336nm isn't xc?

So I take off from Churchill, fly to Rankin Inlet and miss, and return to Churchill.

Doesn't count as x-country. Give your head a shake.

X-country is whatever you think it is. Don't be an idiot about it and you'll be fine.

Any time you navigate to a specific point is XC in my eyes, even if it is not another airport. It could just be a cool water fall or lake etc.
