Aircraft Model Overview (Reference only)

The Cessna 182 Skylane is an American four-seat, single-engined light airplane, built by Cessna of Wichita, Kansas. It has the option of adding two child seats installed in the baggage area. Since 1956, the 182 has been produced in several variants, including a version with retractable landing gear, and is the second most popular Cessna model still in production after the 172. The Cessna 182 was introduced in 1956 as a tricycle gear variant of the 180. In 1957, the 182A variant was introduced along with the name Skylane. As production continued, later models were improved regularly with features such as a wider fuselage, swept tailfin with rear "Omni-vision" window, enlarged baggage compartment, higher gross weights, and landing gear updates. The "restart" aircraft built after 1996 were different in many other details, including a different engine, new seating design, etc. The Cessna 182 is an all-metal (mostly aluminum alloy) aircraft, although some parts – such as engine cowling nose bowl and wingtips – are made of fiberglass or thermoplastic material. Its wing has the same platform as the smaller Cessna 172 and the more extensive 205​/​206 series; however, some wing details such as flap and aileron design are the same as the 172 and are not like the 205​/​206 components. The 182 is used by a multitude of civil operators, cadet organizations, and flight schools worldwide.
