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 in the baggage area.
Introduced in 1956, the 182 has been produced in a number of variants, including a version with retractable landing gear, and is the second-most popular Cessna model still in production after the 172.
Development
The Cessna 182 was introduced in 1956 as a tricycle gear variant of the 180. In 1957, the 182A variant was introduced, followed by a deluxe version the following year known as the 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, landing gear changes, etc. The "restart" aircraft built after 1996 were different in many other details including a different engine, new seating design, etc. {{citation needed|date=December 2020}}
By mid-2013, Cessna planned to introduce the next model of the 182T, designated the JT-A, using the {{cvt|227|hp}} SMA SR305-230 diesel engine running on Jet-A with a burn rate of {{convert|11|usgal|L}} per hour at cruise speed of {{cvt|155|kn}}.{{cite journal|journal=AOPA Pilot|title=Jet A for your Skylane|author=Thomas B Haines|date=October 2012}}{{cite news|url = http://www.avweb.com/news/airventure/EAAAirVenture2012_CessnaUnveilsJetAEngineForSkylane_207018-1.html|title = Cessna Unveils Jet A Engine For Skylane|access-date = 24 July 2012|last = Grady|first = Mary|date = 22 July 2012| work = AVweb}} Cessna has no timeline for the JT-A.{{cite web |first=Paul |last=Bertorelli |url=http://www.avweb.com/blogs/insider/Has-Cessna-Suddenly-Grown-Cold-on-Diesel-224068-1.html |title=Has Cessna Suddenly Grown Cold On Diesel? |work=AVweb|agency=Aviation Publishing Group |date=12 May 2015 |access-date=13 May 2015 }} The normally aspirated, avgas-fueled 182 went out of production in 2012, but came back in 2015.{{cite news |first=Stephen |last=Pope |url=http://www.flyingmag.com/aircraft/pistons/gas-powered-cessna-182-back-production |title=Gas-Powered Cessna 182 Back in Production |work=Flying |date=14 May 2015 |access-date=16 May 2015 }}
Cessna 182s were also built in Argentina by DINFIA, as the A182, and in France by Reims Aviation, as the F182.
Design
The Cessna 182 is an all-metal (mostly aluminum alloy) aircraft, although some parts – such as engine cowling nosebowl and wingtips – are made of fiberglass or thermoplastic material. Its wing has the same planform as the smaller Cessna 172 and the larger 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.
=Retractable gear=
The retractable gear R182 and TR182 were offered from 1978 to 1986, without and with engine turbocharging, respectively. The model designation nomenclature differs from some other Cessna models with optional retractable gear. For instance, the retractable version of the Cessna 172 was designated as the 172RG and the 177RG , whereas the retractable gear version of the Cessna 182 is the R182. Cessna gave the R182 the marketing name of "Skylane RG".{{cite web|url = http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgMakeModel.nsf/0/084b5675182d8714862575f6006d1bf4/$FILE/3A13%20Rev%2069.pdf|title = TYPE CERTIFICATE DATA SHEET NO. 3A13 Revision 69|access-date = 23 March 2010|last = Federal Aviation Administration|author-link = Federal Aviation Administration|date = April 2009|archive-date = 1 February 2010|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100201153302/http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgMakeModel.nsf/0/084b5675182d8714862575f6006d1bf4/$FILE/3A13%20Rev%2069.pdf|url-status = dead}}
The R182 and TR182 offer 10-15% improvement in climb and cruise speeds over their fixed-gear counterparts, and similarly, 10-15% better fuel economy at the same speeds at the expense of increased maintenance costs and decreased gear robustness. The 1978 R182 has a sea-level climb rate of {{cvt|1140|ft/min|m/s}} and a cruising speed (75% BHP) at {{convert|7500|ft|m}} of {{cvt|156|kn}} TAS at standard temperature.{{cite book | author = Cessna Aircraft Company | title = Pilot's Operating Handbook, Skylane RG, 1978 Model R182 |date=October 1977 }}
The landing-gear retraction system in the Skylane RG uses hydraulic actuators powered by an electrically driven pump. The system includes a gear position warning that emits an intermittent tone through the cabin speaker when the gear is in the retracted position and either the throttle is reduced below about {{cvt|12| inHg}} manifold pressure or the flaps are extended beyond 20°. In the event of a hydraulic pump failure, the landing gear may be lowered using a hand pump to pressurize the hydraulic system. The system does not, however, allow the landing gear to be manually retracted.
Variants
Cessna has historically used model years similar to U.S. auto manufacturers, with sales of new models typically starting a few months prior to the actual calendar year.
