November 5, 200223 yr Well it all depends on which way your traveling...Are you going mainly North to South or East to West?[br][br][div align=center][br][link:members.cox.net/fstimes/wetimage.html]Click Here For Weather Image of the Day!
November 5, 200223 yr Odd-thousands + 500 feet if flying to the east, Even-thousands + 500 feet if flying to the west VFR under FL180. I'd suggest looking at the winds aloft forecasts for the area you'll be flying in and picking an altitude that gives you the most favorable winds. You could also try to pick an altitude that'll give you the greatest fuel economy. It's a real challenge when you want to do both at the same time. :)
November 5, 200223 yr It will cover Tennessee and Georgia I have the ID's right here if you would like to take a look at it depart CZL1CHA 2BNA3MEM4SAVDest:CZL
