Crossing the English Channel in a SEP
Having always been told by instructors to fly the shortest crossing distance (which makes a great deal of sense) am I being totally reckless in flying Beachy Head - Dieppe direct?
I see there is a VFR route south of the Isle of Wight thats about the same distance but with higher unrestricted airspace but it's even further off my intended course.
Views on routes / single engine reliability & ditching a low wing aircraft would be much appreciated.
