your LSALT must be greater than 1,360' AGL (not 1,000')
Not strictly correct, if the highest obstacle is more than 360' above the terrain (say TV antenna) LSALT is 1,000' above that object (antenna), if the antenna is less than 360' or there being no antenna the LSALT is then 1,360 above the terrain, if the elevation of the highest terrain or obstacle is not above 500' the LSALT must be not less than 1,500'.

One area not mentioned is weather forcast, if planning a NVMC what cloud base will you accept above your LSALT, Clinton's 3,000AMSL 1,000AGL says clear of cloud, you really, really going to accept that?
If, for example, you are flying at 1,000’ AGL in G above 8/8ths of fog
Well you're not in sight of ground or water so it's a no no.
