Final Approach
The other thread about the guys ditching on their way to Catalina got me to thinking about the safest way to get there. I calculate that if I flew my Mooney from San Pedro there and back and I went at 8500' out (with Bravo clearance) and 7500' return, that I should always be with glide distance of either KAVX, or land in San Pedro, even with a head wind. On departure from KAVX, I would circle overhead the airport until reaching 7500' and then cross.
Does this make sense? Do other people do this?
