Hey y'all,
Does one have to take off from the last place that one landed?
I think I'll be up for a checkride sometime tomorrow for a new type rating, but I already have the routes I want to fly with my programme planned out. Would I be able just to stick that checkride in there?
Thanks,
Mitch

At This Va it is not necesary to takeof from where you landed. Some of us do that just for realism but it is not required/

I like to fly from the airport which was the destination in my previous leg
It's far more realistic than jumping around the world by *magic*

I do the same, but I sometimes cheat like landing and taking off from airports within driving distance (e.g. JFK-EWR/ SFO-OAK)
