I've always been curious about one thing with these long transoceanic
single engine flights: how do you handle the oil consumption? It seems
like most of the planes I've flown over the years would have burned up
much the oil in the sump over 19 hours.

I don't fly them airplanes!!!! A healthy engine will burn about 1/2 to 1qt
every 10 to 15 hour. Pluss our powersettings are very low 55 to 60%


I should have known you'd be picky. G

Most of my flying career involved flying crap.
