So a plane could fly at 6500 along most of V21 from Catalina (KSXC) to Seal Beach (SLI), then at 2500 along V23 to the 308 (128+180) radial inbound to SMO (includes the mini route)? I see 100/80 (S of San Pedro)and 100/70 (W of Hunington Pier)notations in what appear to be the same airspace boundries most of V21 goes through. With single color printing in the book I'm not sure if any of the other airspace layer information applies in the imediate area of the Seal Beach VOR.Since I would be using the flight planner that comes with the simulator I would probably use Intersection VPCAR as a waypoint and advise pilots to intercept the 308 radial to SMO and use radio navigation for the leg from the vicinity of VPCAR to SMO. The whole exercise would be for sightseeing purposes, since the overwater V27 would be a shorter route towards KSBP.
Would single engine planes normally go for as much altitude as clears the overhead airspace during the over water leg of such a flight, to give them more glide range in the event of engine failure?
