In a direct line (2,3,4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

as the crow flies

(Other definitions for as the crow flies that I've seen before include "move in a straight line" , "Directly" , "without deviating" , "How rook moves" , "By direct route" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
