I have a question for flu: is it CONVENIENT to cut over homes on takeoff, often times at a very low altitude, rather than going an extra mile and a half to two miles to turn in order to lessen the potential damage from a crash? Several planes have crashed into the new $67 million golf course and the canyon. Can you imagine if those planes had veered immediately southwest over homes instead of flying the recommended “voluntary” route? I shudder to think of it. Many times it is better to be forget convenience when it is overshadowed by safety issues and doing the right thing!
