About the 182T
The Cessna 182T Skylane is an American type-certificated, single-engine fixed-wing aircraft featuring a high-wing layout and fixed tricycle landing gear. Suited for private transport, commercial operators, and backcountry utility missions, it comfortably accommodates four occupants alongside generous baggage capacity within a metal cabin.
Developed as a tricycle-gear progression from the Cessna 180, the type first flew in the mid-1950s and has since evolved through continuous system upgrades and fuselage modifications. Powered by a prominent piston engine turning a constant-speed propeller, the series includes specialized variants featuring wider cabins, fiberglass component integration, and high-altitude turbocharging for mountainous operations.
