What is your average altitude when flying VFR on a pleasure flight or just buzzing around for the afternoon?
My average is 3500' to 4500'.
My average is 3500' to 4500'.

Usually I fly helicopters at around 700 agl, sometimes crossing high points, if there's no reason to suspect nastiness, at somewhat less. The tower tops on ridges are usually higher than I am

Laurie said:Agreed! I rarely am above 500', unless in the rare case I'm flying over land then it's 750' for eastbound flights and 1250' for westbound.
ejensen said:Poll is AGL. I assumed MSL too so answered the high choice too.
flyingcheesehead said:Huh? I only see the first one as "less than 3000' AGL" which I took to mean "hemispheric rules don't apply." Then there's a bunch of regular VFR altitudes. I'm guessing the poster is an east-coaster 'cuz there's not a whole lot of other places where you can actually use 3500' and not be less than 3000 AGL.
