310 performance

[Topper]

I have decided to sell and buy or/trade my 182 for a 310. I prefer a turbo (I know maintenance costs will be higher bu don’t care), however if I find the right deal, I will buy a na 310. In real world flying, what kind of true air speeds are you getting out of turbo and na 310’s. Let me know if you know of anyone wanting to trade a 310 (would also consider a baron) for a very nicely equipped low total time 79 182.

There's a few 310 owners/pilots on POA and they'll have a better idea. When I flew 310s many moons ago I believe it was around 180.

I flew a NA 310R for a few years. 185ktas on 24-26gph depending upon altitude or push 200ktas on 36gph. Mine had nearly 2000lbs useful. Tons of room and the nose baggage was amazing. I loved it and am still sad I sold mine.
