  1. 250 nautical miles, two landing points
  2. 300 nautical miles, three landing points ✔
  3. 500 nautical miles, four landing points

Why: It must be at least 300 nautical miles total with landings at a minimum of three points. One point has to be at least 250 nautical miles straight-line from the departure airport. In Hawaii the longest segment need only be 150.

Huh, didn't know that: Instead of solo, the 10 hours can be time as PIC with an instructor on board.
