Well---------------to answer Indy-----we were a few miles out over the Pacific----and I have never seen any small aircraft very far from shore down low---they are more likely to be at a higher altitute and then they are a hazard-----
Closest thing I ever came to was leaving Long Beach in a turn back to the southeast over the bay, they had launched a weather baloon without any coodination of air traffic departures---and it was close!!!!!!!
And as for a check pilot allowing something----they will ride thru almost anything without saying a word---they are not in command or control---and when this happened it pretty much hadn't been figured out how far off shore the limit went as the rule was primarily for traffic pattern areas below 10,000 and the control zones around the bigger airports were new also.
