I managed to get 154 knots ground speed today on the way back home and on 20 inches and 2200 RPM. Wasn't even trying. I have never flown that fast! Without the airlines of course.

Sounds like a 10 knot tailwind to me.
Yup, sounds about right to me. Stil lcruising! I am used to Skyhawk speeds as this is only my second 182 flight.

It takes a 30 knot tail wind to push my 172 that fast. We saw that crossing the Rockies last October. Of course on the way home, we maxed at 85 knots ground speed in the same area.Sounds like a 10 knot tailwind to me.

You don't know what "fast" really is until you leave a roostertail of dust behind you that's higher than the plane. But up to that point, each step up the speed ladder seems "fast" until you've been doing it a while or fly something faster.
Ron is right. This joke is an old chestnut by now, but for those who haven't read it in a while....

Those speeds would require lots and lots of fuel.
and lots and lots of passengers money
not sure it would be worth if for anyone making less then millions a year. But It sure would be nice to cross the Atlantic in an hour or two.

Came out of a Low Level (IR) route one day in western Montana headed home to Grand Forks ND. Asked Center for 11,000 direct. Got approved. A biz jet came up on freq asking for an IFR clearence out of Minot Muni. Center cleared him to 10,000 traffic at 11,000 30nm west heading east, call departing Minot.
We motored by Minot and I could see the biz jet just starting his departure roll. He came up on the freq asking for higher and center advised, your traffic is now 20nm east, you are cleared to FLxxx. The biz jet asked, what?. I did not think we took that long to get out. To which center replied, he's got 650 knt GS, you can't catch him.

After reading this quote (which I enjoyed), I thought this would be a nice book to obtain for myself and my former airline pilot Dad.
Looked at Amazon and eBay.....
Had no clue it's brining that price for the hardcover.GCA319
Cleared for Takeoff
If 182s are fast, then my aunt is actually my uncle.

Barring the grumpy cast here, glad you got to fly the 182. Enjoy it. Welcome to flying a real airplane.

For some reason I enjoy it more than 172's. Maybe its the fact that it is roomier than the average tin can airplane. If I ever get into a 150 I will probably have to cry. LOL

One of my partners flew our 182 from DC to Ohio and back yesterday. Speed from Dc to Ohio was as low as 88 knots. Ohio to DC peaked at 182 knots.

I would need a 25 knot head wind.

The Shoulder to Shoulder width/comfort of a 182 is addicting and spoiling me to how much I like that. Same with flight performance.
BTW to those monitoring the thread and are in the D/FW area. We still have a slot open in our 16-member club that owns a 182P and a V35 Bonanza. Search the forums for Metro Flyers to find my announcement from earlier this month.

The people flying gulf streams already have almost unlimited budget. If there was a super sonic business jet I'm sure many of them would use it. Then the technology will slowly trickle down to the masses like air travel did in the 20th century.

No. They don't have unlimited budgets and they use faster aircraft to help with the budget they can't change... time.
The only way that technology will "trickle down" is if the masses somehow find a way to make themselves as valuable in person as some of these folks are.
Frankly digital communications technology will stay ahead of that forever.

182 kts stood as my peak GS for a few years, then I caught a ripping tail wind coming home from KSPF. I saw 211 level and even more in the decent. It was over 100kts on my tail at 13.5:wink2:
