Narrative:

I make frequent night single engine flts from sav IFR to sarasota. I request routing at 6000-10000 ft MSL along the east coast of florida V3, V267, or V437. I am never allowed to do this because of orlando approach. I am advised en route by ZJX 'we have a change in routing for you, proceed from brunswick (ssi via V441 to gnv, ocl, lal, vnc).' the problem is, this routing is over a desolate swamp area. I prefer, for safety of nearby airports (single engine at night), to be able to fly down the east coast of florida, not over a swamp at night.

Title: SINGLE ENG SMA RERTE OVER DESOLATE AREA AT NIGHT.

Narrative: I MAKE FREQUENT NIGHT SINGLE ENG FLTS FROM SAV IFR TO SARASOTA. I REQUEST ROUTING AT 6000-10000 FT MSL ALONG THE EAST COAST OF FLORIDA V3, V267, OR V437. I AM NEVER ALLOWED TO DO THIS BECAUSE OF ORLANDO APCH. I AM ADVISED ENRTE BY ZJX 'WE HAVE A CHANGE IN ROUTING FOR YOU, PROCEED FROM BRUNSWICK (SSI VIA V441 TO GNV, OCL, LAL, VNC).' THE PROB IS, THIS ROUTING IS OVER A DESOLATE SWAMP AREA. I PREFER, FOR SAFETY OF NEARBY ARPTS (SINGLE ENG AT NIGHT), TO BE ABLE TO FLY DOWN THE EAST COAST OF FLORIDA, NOT OVER A SWAMP AT NIGHT.
