When you are flying VFR in good weather, what is your "comfort zone" for
altitude (irrespective of regulatory or other restrictions)? At what altitude
AGL do you find that you feel a little too close to the ground, and at what
altitude MSL do you find that you feel too high for your own comfort? Also,
what type of aircraft do you normally fly (just to put these numbers in
perspective)?

Well there's safety in altitude - but it's highly dependant on
circumstance...

A flight I like to do (from NZCH) is head out over the city (within the
CTR so tower provides an upper limit) and then circumnavigate Banks
Peninsula (1,000' to 3,000' or above - thereabouts), then arrive back
via New Brighton and nip along the beach at 500' AGL (passensgers get a
great sense of speed and exhileration - and if I have an engine problem
I can drop the plane on the beach easy as), then climb up to 1,500' and
do a T&G at Rangiora (NZRT) and then back to NZCH per tower
instructions.

Great fun, not expensive, very safe.
