My first trip I was that low too, but now my FBO insists on a continuous
climb to the middle of the channel for better glide distance if your engine
quits. 4500' in a 172 is only like 7 miles glide.

Glad you had a good flight. Catalina is a fun runway. Out of curiosity
what altitude did you take on the way over?


4500.
