About the 182C

The Textron Aviation 182C is an American single-engine, fixed-wing light aircraft configured for four occupants, though extra seating can be installed in the cargo bay. Built with a tricycle undercarriage layout, it serves as a popular type-certificated touring machine suited to private pilots.

First appearing in the mid-fifties as a variant of an earlier tricycle-gear design, this aircraft later gained a deluxe moniker and underwent numerous refinements over its long production run, such as expanded baggage space, structural updates, and alternative powerplants including diesel configurations. Manufacturing took place domestically as well as internationally in countries like Argentina and France, encompassing both aluminum alloy and composite material construction.

{# the label links to these aircraft for sale, built in that span. On the label and not the count: the bands count every aircraft on the market (on_market) while the grid shows only those with a photo (live), so the count is not a promise of how many cards appear. A band cached before year_min existed renders as plain text rather than a link to an unfiltered list. #}
