John,
Do you have a "rule of thumb" trading off altitude (and therefore safety margin) to avoid headwinds? Two things you forgot: 1. The desire to see stuff on the ground. That often keeps me at 2000 AGL. 2. Weather. For me, flying VFR in northern Europe, that is most often the deciding factor in selecting a cruise altitude. It will keep me below 3000 on many days. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)
