ahhh no, puts you well outside glide distance, around 16 nm from land.
If I “had” to go direct in a single it would be at 10,000’ but I wouldn’t fly direct at low level just to avoid the YPAD class D....
All kinds of ignorance flying there at 4,000’
I’ve also seen plenty of single engine NVFR at 6,000 over the hills north east of Melb to. Crazy when they could go via MNG ML at higher level and greatly increase their survival chances after failure.
What are some people thinking?
Obviously not much !!
