About the 182B

The Cessna 182B is an American single-engine, fixed-wing light aircraft built for general aviation purposes. It typically accommodates a pilot alongside three passengers, with the option to install extra child seating in the rear baggage section, making it well-suited for private owners and families. The airframe features a traditional tricycle landing gear arrangement and an all-metal construction, primarily utilizing aluminum alloy with select components molded from fiberglass or thermoplastic materials.

Originally launched as a tricycle gear variant of an earlier model, the aircraft gained a deluxe designation shortly after its debut and evolved through numerous iterations featuring wider fuselages, swept tailfins, and alternative engine configurations. International manufacturing took place in Argentina and France under different designations. While traditional models experienced production pauses, subsequent variants integrated modern diesel powerplants alongside traditional gasoline options to meet changing market demands.
