You talked about flying over cities. So, my question is given that you
don't know what "undue hazard means", why do you say that everyone
flying over cities are in violation of the 91.119(a)?

We don't know for sure - but it's reasonable to assume that flying over
a place where the only outlanding options are densely populated with
people or people driving cars would, if your engine quit, cause an undue
hazard to these people.

Can you do better than that? Why is it reasonable to make that assumption?
Do the FARs speak to what they mean when they say "undue hazard"? Can
you back this up with citations?

yours,
Michael
