About the 182D

The Textron Aviation 182D is an American single-engined light airplane configured with a fixed tricycle landing gear and four seats inside an all-metal layout, with options for extra child seating. Manufactured by Cessna, it serves personal transport and touring roles well, and stands as one of the brand's most popular aircraft lines.

First appearing in the mid-fifties as a derivative of an earlier model, the type evolved through numerous variants featuring fuselage and tail refinements, weight increases, and temporary production pauses. Alongside domestic production, versions were also manufactured abroad in Argentina and France. Later iterations introduced alternative diesel powerplants designed to burn specific aviation fuels, maintaining the aircraft's enduring presence in general aviation.
