  1. yes we flew nonstop ege-hps 1500nm. we have the extra 29gal monroy tanks in the acclaim. i lfy 25"mp 2300rpm. i use the g1000 leaning to keep an average 1500 egts. fuel flow is about 12gph. this should preserve the cylinders. the g1000 with calibrated tanks gives very exact range so you can be safe. today tail wind was good up to chicago then a strong crosswind. then a headwind. all from the storm. but we were still nonstop. we were almost nonstop hpn-ege on wednesday, by positioning north of the brunt of that storm's westerly. flying high also increases true airspeed, and often mitigates a stronger headwind at higher altitudes. also higher is safer in winter because it's too cold for icing. and you are above most weather.
