Flying it could hardly be simpler. An automatic wastegate controller manages the turbocharger, allowing the pilot to push the throttle full forward and leave it there, and the mixture full rich, until leveling for cruise. Then the pilot simply pulls the power back to about 85 percent as shown on the MFD. Slide the mixture control back and watch as the fuel flow indicator matches up with a blue hash mark on the fuel flow gauge. You’re done, set for lean of peak economy cruise. No cowl flaps to close, no tedious charts to consult, no intense juggling of fuel flow against cylinder head or exhaust gas temperatures.
