John,

What altitude do most of the guys do cross country at? 2,000? 1500? Lets say 

there are landing options.

Thanks,

David

I routinely fly 3500 for easterly headings and either 2500 or 4500 for

westerly headings. In other words, by the book.

Whatever it takes to get the job done.



Whatever is most comfortable.



Where the most favorable winds are.



Anywhere from tree tops to 15,000 feet asl.

That is a difficult question.  What altitude? Use to be that we could

fly above 10,000 ft which would give us good true airspeed and sometimes

hypoxia.  Now, we can only go to 10,000 ft legally. However, when the

flowers and trees are in bloom, my favorite altitude ranges between 5

and 50 feet.  That is the beautiy of flying.....a choice to enjoy or get

somewhere quickly. Sometimes we get lucky and do both.

There is a good reason for the old rule of NEODD and SWEVEN. Years ago I 

was working East Radar at TRI, slow day, watching two VFR codes 

converging. One was at an appropriate VFR altitude, the other was 

WAFDOF. I was not talking to either of them, but when the targets merged 

at the same apparent altitude, (obviously startling both of them) they 

both started ident'ing like crazy. What a big help THAT was...

Forgiving is tough, being forgiven is wonderful, and God's grace really is amazing.
