Got a student who owns a Cessna 182T. He is doing his instrument rating in it. What power settings for approaches have you guys used in this plane that worked for you?
No prob. I'm a big fan of both the 182T and the T182T. In 2001, the 182S (first Independence-built Skylane) was aerodynamically cleaned up and designated the 182T. They also put a turbo'd Lyc up front for the first time. Unlike other manufacturers, Cessna performance data is based on MGW. I consistently got better than book numbers when flying solo. IIRC, I was able to get 152-4 KTAS at 9000 ft in the 182T. I saw a picture of a T182T at FL200, too. They are great machines.
I regularly take it up there with customers that want high altitude training. Does just fine, even at max gross. Why you'd take it up there beats me unless there's an insane tailwind, but it does it without breaking a sweat.
