You don’t need to land. Just do some touch and goes (honestly you could’ve done the 8 landings needed in the time it took to write this topic) and then just take off, climb, and fly in a random direction until you need your phone, and then exit the flight.
This isn’t too bad, you’re almost there! I got to level 3 by flying patterns at Denver Int’l and then several overnights (literally overnight) from LAX to London.
Just go to MMU (Morristown Municipal in NJ) and fly a continuous figure-eight pattern on the intersecting runways. Great way to quickly rack up landings.
