Pre-Flight
Speaking of typical non-pressurized piston singles that are available both normally aspirated and as a turbocharged variant, I understand the improvement in speed and altitude ability versus the increased cost and complexity of engine management (i understand this at least theoretically).
My question relates to the real world improvement in weather avoidance. If the majority of flights are to be east of the Rockies, but (hopefully) throughout the year, does the addition of 5 or 6000 feet MSL truly help enough to allow more comfortable or safer flights, making the additional cost a reasonable investment?
