Relatively new pilot here, trying to optimize flight time/cost for distance flights. I belong to a flying club that charges different rates for Tach/ Hobbs. I use the airplane mostly for longer trips (not flight training anymore), meaning the advantage of the Tach/Hobbs difference is mostly lost,...

Question for those of you that live in the So Calif area. As early a morning crossing as possible (taking account winds are low at the 'top') would seem warranted, but for crossing back to Nor Calif, when is the best time to head back over the pass for max passenger comfort, on the way back?...
