Logic like that requires rational planning.

I'm not sure how you define "many times", but I don't recall a lot of eventful returns. The obvious one was the engine failure. There was the first flight that ended early as a precaution due to cooling issues. Between those, what do you have?

I would be 10k at least. giving me options to land somewhere My exact first thought today also. It’s severe clear across the entire Southeast today, no reason he can’t climb higher. And he should.

10K??? It takes 2 hours to climb to 6K with an OAT of 65°F. It can’t carry enough fuel to climb to 10K.
