See flow chart is repositioned straight (2,3,4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

as the crow flies

'straight' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'see flow chart is repositioned' is the wordplay.
'repositioned' indicates an anagram.
'see'+'flow'+'chart'+'is'='seeflowchartis'
'seeflowchartis' is an anagram of 'AS THE CROW FLIES'.

(Other definitions for as the crow flies that I've seen before include "move in a straight line" , "How rook moves" , "Directly" , "taking shortest route" , "By direct route" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
