Default Turbo 182T "renter's cruise"

I pretty much always climb on top of green arc which is 28 inHg (27
above 15,000 ft.) and 2400rpm. I almost always cruise at 26 or 26.5
inHg and 2300rpm which gives you roughly 75 - 80 % power, depending on
altitude and temperature. I fly ROP at 1650 deg TIT. Generally
speaking, my aim is a fuel flow of 14.5 - 15 gph.


I've always been curious about the performance of the newer 182s...
what sort of TAS do you see flying at those settings?

Often I fly at 12,000 or 13,000 ft. I usually get 150KTS TAS.
Especially in the winter going eastbound I fly high (FL190) to catch
the tailwinds. There I get 160 KTS TAS. Normally, I will achieve at
least 200 KTS GS, often 220 KTS or so.
