Cessna 182 Skylane is considered by many as the best of light aircraft. Although it does not occur in the same numbers as its smaller cousin the Cessna 172 and name recognition among the population in general as the Cub, the Skylane is at the upper end than it is practical for everyday pilot.
Cessna 182 was introduced in 1956 as a variant of 180 tricycle gear. In 1957, 182A variant was introduced along with the name Skylane. Later models added larger Windows and more powerful engines.
Located in the Cessna alignment from the 172 to 206/210, 182 is at the end of what can be considered as a simple plane. Although the 182 has a controllable pitch propeller, is not pressurized and most were built with engines and fixed landing gear of not tubrocharged. Therefore have relatively simple maintenance a 172, the extra performance of an extra 80 HP, but only a couple of extra gallons of fuel flow in cruise.
182 Is heavier and has a more solid than a 172 sensation and is widely regarded as a very good flying instrument due to its stability level. Newer models with a cabin G1000 Crystal and the GFC 700 Autopilot are an authentic model of capacity and the sophistication of a light aircraft.
Cessna 182 has four seats. However, as the majority of small planes you will only see full for short local flights. For longer trips extra fuel and the probability of baggage means that one or more seats will probably be empty. What is lost in people you will definitely get in range and resistance. Later 182 can carry 88 gallons of fuel, it enough to easily follow aloft for six hours, which exceed the strength of the passengers, if not the aircraft.
On the basis of their price, simplicity, ease of handling, durability and performance, the Skylane has earned its place as one of the most popular and respected light aircraft.
