The idea of optimized LRC (Long Range Cruise) and the reality of operating way
overweight to make the world's longest over-water route in a piston twin do not
intersect.
On the AC-680FL that I ferried to PHNL and then on to NSTU via Kiribati I had to
use 65% power to keep the airplane in level flight.? After about the 4th hour,
Indicated Air Speed began to build and I after I drifted up to 6000' I? reduced
power to maintain a constant IAS -- but this is not as accurate as flying
constant Mach as an airspeed indicator is not an airdata instrument and my IAS
could vary for ambient temperature.
Without splitting hairs, it worked.
I also leaned to lean of peak by EGT with a an eye towards cylinder head temperatures
-- but at 65% power I couldn't have done any thermal damage to the engine.?
It was a psychological thing, really, and I'm still undergoing treatment.
It was a long time ago.?? Take a look at the story that's published on www.aerocommander.com and you'll get some details.?? Some of the information will apply to the non-geared engined models as well.

It's a fun trip if you do it -- but as I'm fond of saying, the difference between
an adventure and a disaster is the proper equipment.
