Dan you can ask for whatever you want, and the FAA will likely grant it, ifreasonable. I made my initial flights from Sanford, NC (TTA) but wasplanning to base the plane at Cox Field in Apex, NC. They made my area bigenough to include both fields, as well as several other airports, includingSiler City (5W8), which is 32 nm away from Cox. If you don't ask, you'lllikely get a circle centered on Poplar Grove. They probably won't give youa 40 mile radius (that would be 5,027 square miles, which is bigger thansome countries), but as long as your proposed area doesn't go over a denselypopulated area, they might well give you a box 50 miles long and 5 mileswide, which should be enough for you. Have your proposal marked out on asectional chart to show them what you want, and say you have friends atBrodhead - not that you want to take it to a busy fly-in.Note that I was dealing with the FAA FSDO, not a DAR. Note only are theFeds more reasonable than some DARs, they are also free.Good luck,Jack PhillipsNX899JPRaleigh, NC _____

Dan - My guy gave me a simple 50 mile radius around my home airport which includedHouston Intercontinental & Houston Hobby. I think it was understood thatI wasn't allowed to go to those two places, though

Coffee and Donuts!! When my inspectors (I had 2) walked in and saw them theysaid I passed and they didn't even need to see the plane! Seriously though, don'tthink of it as a test. They really aren't looking to "fail" you. This isprobably one of the most satisfying parts of their job and they really wantto be able to give you that certificate. Enjoy it!And pay close attention to everything that Mike posted up above!Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
