You stated you were flying VFR


You said that you were not taught about safety margins for terrain in

airways.

I clearly stated that I was not taught that 'airways were supposed to be
safer'

I pointed you to an official publication that describes those margins.


You pointed to a publication that was not relevant to the flight.


The best terrain clearance is normally not along an airway. Mountain

passes
don't care where the VORs are.


Read the book.


I have. In fact, I'll be taking the written test in a few weeks.
