Check which fuel setup the airplane has
The 1979 handbook lists 92 gal total fuel and 88 gal usable, with 880 NM range at 75% power at 8,000 ft. The 1977 handbook lists 56 and 75 gal usable options, with 520 NM and 735 NM at 75% power. Confirm which tanks the airplane has.
Modifications and STCs
Some 182Qs are converted. One 1979 listing has a 300 hp Continental IO-550, 3,100 lb gross weight and 1,198.8 lb useful load. An EASA STC covers an MT-Propeller on IO-550-D 182Qs, and a Robertson STOL supplement exists under STC SA1382WE. Verify the paperwork and weight and balance.
Maintenance records to review
The 1977-1986 service manual carries a temporary revision on inspecting cracks at the trailing edge of corrugated-skin control surfaces (Service Bulletin SEB99-18). It also adds a fuel quantity indicating system test. Ask for logbook proof. Oil capacity is 12 qts, and the preflight checklist reads 9-12 qts.
Safety notes
- An accident report on a 182Q (G-PLEE) describes engine power loss on final near 0°C with visible moisture. The pilot suspected carburetor icing, and no mechanical cause was found.
- The handbook lists max ramp weight as 2,960 lb and max takeoff and landing weight as 2,950 lb. Stay within these limits unless an approved STC raises them.
- The checklist lists best glide at 70 kts. Practise the engine-failure procedure, including carburetor heat and fuel selector checks.
