Hey there, I am flying at a part 141 flight school, and one of the listed requirements is that I need to fly a cross country with one leg of 250 miles and another leg of 50 miles. I flew in a straight line stopping at Airport A, then Airport B (250 miles from the starting point). On the way back, I needed to go to the restroom and landed back at airport A. When I get back, I’m told that I need to repeat the flight because I made an extra stop and there wasn’t a complete 250 mile leg. I’ve reached out to the Chief flight instructor and he says that the syllabus is very specific about the wording of the flight. Is there anything I can do? I feel so frustrated and it feels completely unfair that I wasted over a grand because I needed to go to the bathroom once on a 3 hour leg of a flight.
Edit: I’m not posting this to be a crybaby or anything, maybe it kinda came off that way. I appreciate the feedback guys, I’ll get back on the grind.
