Are students authorized to make repeated solo cross country flights without each flight being logbook endorsed?

The correct answer reflects that students are indeed authorized to make repeated solo cross-country flights under stipulated conditions, which typically means that certain criteria must be met before those flights can take place.

In practice, if a student has successfully completed their solo cross-country training and has demonstrated the required knowledge and skills, they may be permitted to make solo cross-country flights without needing a separate logbook endorsement for each flight, as long as they adhere to regulations and safety guidelines set by the FAA and their flight instructor. These conditions might include factors such as ensuring that the student maintains a currency of flight experience and adheres to weather minimums.

This flexibility is designed to allow students to practice their skills and build their experience in a structured manner without the burden of getting an endorsement for every single flight, as long as they remain within their certification and training limits. This promotes independence and encourages students to develop their decision-making abilities in real-world flying scenarios.
