Also, from when I lived out West, there was the mountaintop clearance guideline—1,000 feet for every 10 knots of wind, with 30 knots meaning no-go. But if I was going VFR over strange territory, I would want lots more than 1,000 feet agl. That maxim doesn’t seem as well-known in the East, however.

Eventually, the FAA’s Flight Technology group acknowledged the benefits of flying with datalink weather in the cockpit and released Advisory Circular 00-63A in 2014. For example, ground-based systems that require a line of sight may have relatively limited coverage below 5,000 feet above ground level (AGL).
