How high?
I'd like to get input on opinions on the "best" VFR altitude for a route.
It seems to me it's largely based on distance, winds aloft and comfort level. Do you have a "rule of thumb" trading off altitude (and therefore safety margin) to avoid headwinds? Or, if winds aloft are to your advantage, how high would someone go in a 172 class aircraft before returns diminish?
