    For the Long solo X-country, FAA states :
    "one leg of at least 100nm."

    How critical is it, to get exactly 100 nm??

    IOW... Does the FAA accept 99.6 rounded up??

    .....or, must one do exactly 100 or more ,

    Charlie, you make this game a lot of fun. If the FFA says at least, AT LEAST 100nm ( whatever nm means) they MEAN IT. So, you gotta do 100nms. Is zat something like MM's ? I like those.

    YEAH ! Those are the ones! I always eat those when the FFA is checkin' things. If it gits too bad I'll have to switch to them Jellybellies. Still don't know what them NM's are tho. I never did fly with 'em, I jes kept things goin' till I got to where I was going. Ain't thats what you do ? Dern Future Farmers of Amurca always have to mess things up by tellin' you how many NM's you can eat .....or DO. I'm damn glad I ain't flyin no more.
    When I did my by myself over land flyin I took off and flew until I found a town on the other side of the swamps. Sometimes they even had a patch big enough to land on. Had to chase the alligators off 'em sometimes but weren't no big problem. I jes threw them a bunch of NM's.

    Bein of Syentifik mind, I kinds o thought the NM's wuz a thing that udder
    syentests uzed, to get readins on. Ya know... "Nahno-Metars".

    But I cunna figger out jes how the FAA wood use them.
    Unless it's code, fer mesurin passin on peeples medicals... like :
    Nah!
    No!
    nah!
    No!
    nah!

    Thas 3 nah's, an 2 no's on the nahno-metar....

    So how wood I get to do 100NM?? thas a awfool lotta nah's ! !
