How much can the CESSNA 182F Skylane carry?
The CESSNA 182F Skylane has 4 seats, a 2550 lb max takeoff weight and a 1500 lb basic empty weight. Library data gives 1050 lb useful load and a 200 lb baggage allowance. TCDS 3A13 lists 120 lb baggage for the base 182, so confirm for the airplane.
What range and speed should I expect from the CESSNA 182F Skylane?
Library data for the CESSNA 182F Skylane gives 120 kt cruise on 12 gph, 140 kt maximum and 700 nm range. The 182 family reaches up to 930 nm and 174 kt across its variants. Those are family-level maxima, not this variant's figures.
Is the CESSNA 182F Skylane engine the same in every source?
No. Library data lists a Continental O-470-U. An AAIB report on a 1963 CESSNA 182F Skylane lists an O-470-R, and TCDS 3A13 lists O-470-L for the base 182. Verify the engine against the data plate and logbooks.

Engine, fuel and what the data says
Library data gives a Continental O-470-U with a McCauley 2-blade propeller, 230 hp. An AAIB report on a 1963 182F lists a Continental O-470-R. TCDS 3A13 lists O-470-L for the base Model 182, at 230 hp and 2600 rpm, and 80 minimum grade avgas. The engine designation varies by source, so check the data plate and logbooks.
Speeds, weights and limits
Library V-speeds: Vne 175 kt, Vno 125, Va 100, Vfe 110, Vy 80, Vx 75, stall 55 clean and 50 in landing configuration. Max crosswind is 20 kt and CG range 34 to 40 in. TCDS 3A13 shows lower limits for the base 182: never exceed 160 kt, flaps extended 87 kt, maneuvering 106 kt. Use the placarded limits for the specific airplane.
What to check before buying
Confirm the engine model, propeller and fuel capacity against the logbooks and type data. Inspect the cowling mounts and fasteners: the Skybolt document notes engine movement loads the cowling mounts and a kit replaces steel Camlocs with stainless. It also says the 182 cowling presents the fewest problems. Look for worn engine mounts and wingtip or aileron damage.
Safety notes
- AAIB: a taxiing 182F struck a parked aircraft's propeller and lost about 0.3 m of right wingtip and aileron. Keep wide clearance on crowded ramps.
- Vne is 175 kt in library data but 160 kt in TCDS 3A13 for the base Model 182. Trust the POH and placards for the airplane you buy.
- TCDS 3A13 warns that alcohol-based fuels can degrade performance and damage fuel system components, and prohibits them.
