Default Whew - ASI died in flight

I wouldn't use your trim procedure. There is a big difference in trim
settings with the 182 depending on loading. Solo you may need almost
full up trim for a normal approach...with the folks in the rear seat a
neutral trim setting will work pretty well.

Just put the nose where it's supposed to be...that works regardless of
load.



You may find it educational to look at where the trim is in cruise flight vs
where it is with full flaps and proper approach speed. I've lost ASI three
times over the years and each time was after flying through a deluge. If you
start getting slow you'll know it by the way the plane feels. Sloppy handling
close to the ground is not good for your continued health and wellbeing.

But I digress. Look at where the trim wheel is for cruise and for approach.
This is information that is good to have.
