I originally posted this over in the training section, but did not get an answer, so maybe this area will know:
I am getting ready to do my cross country for SP. The rule states:
---------------------------
One solo cross-country flight of at least 75 nautical miles total
distance, with a full-stop landing at a minimum of two points and one
segment of the flight consisting of a straight-line distance of at least
25 nautical miles between the takeoff and landing locations.
--------------------------
So, my question is about the full stop landing at a minimum of 2 points.
Is my home field, where I end my cross country, one of the points?
Or do I need to do a full stop landing at 2 other airports? Making for a total of 3 landings.



Thanks

Affirmative, fly someplace - then fly someplace else - then come home.
Three legs...
Start @ point A
Fly to Point B
Fly to Point C
Then return to Point A
Pay attention to the distance requirements, total distance must be at least 75nm, with one leg at least 25mn straight line distance.

Most important - HAVE FUN!!!!
