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?

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

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

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

Yea probably. When I first looked at the picture I noticed the lack of
knees. I didn't notice that the picture was cut off above the bottom of the
panel. Can I blame this one on bifocals?
