Good lord, that can't be good for the TBO.

Well, he's going full blast at 16,500 ft. TAS is 182KTS, GS 169KTS.
The engine is a Lyc TIO540 which is downrated to 235hp. The engine
can be flown at full power (top of green arc) constantly. However, I
see that he is flying at 32.5 inHg which is way to high. Max. MAP
green arc is 27 inHg above 15,000 ft. So, that indeed is not a good
idea, at least not for a longer time.
My max. GS, cruise and level, in my T182T was 255KTS at FL190 going
east (from Meigs Field to Toronto) where I had a tailwind of 95KTS -
probably some low jetstream.

What are your typical climb and cruise settings?

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?

There was a BEAUTIFUL 206 for sale last year @ ANE.
(NEWPS parked his Bo in the same hangar)

It was his father's for years. When the older ($ucce$$ful) son got the plane
he redid EVERYTHING - from stem to stern, and flew it for a few more years.
Talk about a plane being babied.

Anyway, wasn't there a very good thread (maybe 7 years ago) about why NOT to
buy a small turbo'd single? IIRC, it discussed associated costs vs.
performance differences. The average flatlander flights took an even greater
beating by the numbers.

That said, contact Cary M, from these newsgroups (he's @ ANE) and ask him
about his (Diesel) D-42 Twin Star's numbers. It too is turbo'd. He's looking
for (1) partner up here in Minnesota.

BTW, that whole teenage mistress thing has a better shot for you, in a sleek
new twin.

Of course, that whole teenage mistress thing has a better shot with Orlando
Bloom, in an Ercoupe.

Yikes. Now I'm getting "urges!" :-)

The question for pilots "of a certain age" is, "Can I keep a teenage mistress
*and* my medical?"

Haw!

Good one.
