182A

About the 182A

The Textron Aviation 182A is a light, single-engined American aircraft featuring fixed-wing architecture and an all-metal construction. Primarily serving as a four-seat touring plane, it is well-suited for private pilots and general aviation utility tasks, with options to expand passenger capacity via the luggage area.

Originally launched in the mid-fifties as an offshoot of an earlier tricycle-gear design, this aircraft eventually gained a deluxe branding known as the Skylane. Over decades of manufacturing, the platform received multiple revisions, including enlarged storage spaces, modified landing gear, and modified cabin configurations. Production was temporarily halted and later resumed, while international assembly took place in countries such as France and Argentina.

The 182A is a variant of the Cessna 182. Other variants: 182B, 182C, 182D, 182E, 182F, 182G, 182H, 182J, 182K, 182L, 182M, 182N, 182P, 182Q, 182R, 182RG, 182S, 182T.
