Capt. Bob Moore can attest to this, however most large airports on the
East coast have approaches over water. Most of these airports were
WWII fields or products of since they were originally setup for
training, and was cheap real estate at the time. I always take 91.3,
if I take fery good care of myself, everyone in the back will be fine.

I don't have an aviation background but was just curious. It seemed
that during the approach into Melbourne, FL we were relatively quite
low to the ground/water (as compared to other airports). Do planes
fly low into Melbourne?
