Turbo 182T "renter's cruise"

Amazing, it is a 'for sale' ad.

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

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.

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.


Many years ago I made part of a flight of three from Marsh Harbour, Abaco,
Bahamas, to Ft. Pierce, FL. A normally aspirated C-210, a turbocharged T-210
and a Turbo Aztec.

We all landed with no more than 3-4 minutes between the first arrival and the
last. The fuel consumption though... it was telling.

C-210 19.5 gallons
T-210 26.0 gallons
Turbo Aztec 59.0 gallons.

That was an expensive flight for somebody.

Well, he's going full blast at 16,500 ft. TAS is 182KTS, GS 169KTS.

Pretty impressive considering that, apparently, no one is sitting in the
front seats...

I once got 185 KTS GS going from Houston to Mobile in a 172RG at 11,000 ft.
If I'd been able to go to FL190 it would have been 50 KTS more, IIRC.

But the biggest benefit of a turbo to me would be getting above the towering
CUs down here in the summertime.

Yeah. I guess the 182 KTAS is cool, but my impression is that the bird has
been "rode hard." No thanks.

But you know what... I'd rather buy an aircraft that has been 'rode
hard', but flies 300 hours a year, than an aircraft that has been babied
and does less than 50 hours a year...

Oh, sure.

But by "rode hard" I meant "abused."

Probably only the pilot aboard, and he's holding the camera.

Or... Does the G1000 have a simulation mode?
