I flight planned most of my trips in the mid to upper teens. Most of the tr=
ips east-west so  headwinds are a factor westbound. Many times it is to avo=
id ice. If you fly above FL180 on an IFR flight plan you may not get a desc=
ent when you need it to avoid ice.=20

Subject: [LML] IV-P Cruise Altitudes?



Greetings,
=20
As I build my IV-P kit, I=E2=80=99m always watching with anticipation the o=
ther IV-P planes out there and how you guys are using them.  One thing that=
 has struck me is that it appears most of you with piston IV-P=E2=80=99s ar=
e flying them around in the low- to mid-teens rather than in the flight lev=
els.  I=E2=80=99m curious why this is the case=E2=80=A6  Trips not long eno=
ugh to justify the climb?  You want to stay VFR?  Performance or handling i=
ssues up high?  Etc.
=20
Would love to hear from some of you on the operational practicalities of us=
ing your IV-P as a X/C traveling machine.  My expectation is that I=E2=80=
=99ll be using mine a lot on lots of 1,000nm X/C flights and am planning to=
 fly in the FL220-FL250 range.
=20
Thoughts?
