About the 182Q
The Textron Aviation Cessna 182Q is an American single-engined, type-certificated light airplane featuring a four-seat internal layout with the option to expand seating capacity via the baggage area. Constructed primarily from aluminum alloy alongside fiberglass and thermoplastic components, it is configured with a tricycle landing gear arrangement.
Originally introduced as a variant of the model 180, the type evolved through numerous iterations incorporating design refinements such as a wider fuselage, rear omni-vision windows, and modified tailfins. Manufacturing took place across multiple international facilities, including operations in Argentina and France, establishing it as one of the most widely produced light aircraft families in aviation history.
