I would like to fly from Houston (KDWH) to the San Francisco area (KSQL). But this time I would like to fly over the Grand Canyon and stop near Las Vegas. but there is a lot in the way between Las Vegas and The San Francisco area. MOA's and high terrain. So being VFR only, how would I do this?
Will the MOA's be an issue? If they are it is a long way around them.
Can a 150hp RV-6a make this trip given the terrain height? I have been to 13K feet before and could still climb, but the mountains are 10K feet.
Any advice is welcome. And of course, I will be PIC and take the responsibility that comes with that.
Guess I am looking for a route suggestion, and some education on planing a flight that will be going through a MOA on a weekday.
