I think you will have some significant rebuild time if your wheels touch the ground 50 miles apart

Default Landing location moves

I have had numerous situations where I landed within 50 miles straight line distance...but when I took off we were MORE than 50 miles (ships move). What do you call that? Half a cross country?

Pretty simply if you log time in accordance with FAR Part 61.
