Weight Limits
The maximum takeoff weight for the Cessna T182 T is 3,100 lbs (1,406 kg). This section details the various weight categories including maximum landing weight and zero fuel weight, ensuring pilots are aware of the limits for safe operation.
Center of Gravity (CG) Limits
The document specifies the acceptable center of gravity range for the Cessna T182 T, which is between 34.0 inches and 40.0 inches from the datum. This section explains how to measure and calculate the CG based on the aircraft's loading configuration.
Weight and Balance Calculation Procedures
Pilots are provided with step-by-step procedures for calculating the weight and balance before flight. This includes how to use the weight and balance chart, and the importance of ensuring the aircraft is within limits for safe operation.
Loading Instructions
This section outlines the recommended loading practices for passengers, baggage, and fuel to maintain the aircraft's balance. It emphasizes distributing weight evenly and securing all items to prevent shifting during flight.
Safety notes
- Improper weight distribution can lead to loss of control during flight.
- Always verify weight and balance before each flight.

SECTION 6 CESSNA WEIGHT AND BALANCE/EQUIPMENT LIST MODEL 182T NAV III WEIGHT AND BALANCE The following information will enable you to operate your Cessna within the prescribed weight and center-of-gravity limitations. To determine weight and balance, use the Sample Loading Problem (Figure 6-3), Loading Graph (Figure 6-4), and Center-of-Gravity Moment Envelope (Figure 6-7) as follows: Enter the appropriate basic empty weight and moment/1000 from the weight and balance records for your airplane in the YOUR AIRPLANE column of the Sample Loading Problem. NOTE In addition to the basic empty weight and moment noted on these records, the C.G. arm (FS) is also shown, but need not be used on the Sample Loading Problem. The moment which is shown must be divided by 1000 and this value used as the moment/1000 on the loading problem. Use the Loading Graph to determine the moment/1000 for each additional item to be carried; then list these on the loading problem. NOTE Loading Graph information for the pilot, passengers and baggage is based on seats positioned for average occupants and baggage loaded in the center of the baggage areas as shown on the Loading Arrangements diagram. For loadings which may differ from these, the Sample Loading Problem lists fuselage stations (FS) for these items to indicate their forward and aft C.G. range limitations (seat travel and baggage area limitation). Refer to Figures 6-5 and 6-6 for additional loading information. Additional moment calculations, based on the actual weight and C.G. arm (FS) of the item being loaded, must be made if the position of the load is different from that shown on the Loading Graph. (Continued Next Page) 16- 6-8 U.S. 182TPHAUS-02 CESSNA SECTION 6 MODEL 182T NAV III WEIGHT AND BALANCE/EQUIPMENT LIST WEIGHT AND BALANCE (Continued) Total the weights and moments/1000 and plot these values on the Center of Gravity Moment Envelope to determine whether the point falls within the envelope, and if the loading is acceptable. BAGGAGE TIEDOWN A nylon baggage net having four tiedown straps is provided as standard equipment to secure baggage in the area aft of the rear seat (baggage areas, A, B and C). Eight eyebolts serve as attaching points for the net. A placard on the baggage door defines the weight limitations in the baggage areas. When baggage area A is utilized for baggage only, the four forward eyebolts should be used. When only baggage area B is used, the eyebolts just aft of the baggage door and the eyebolts above or below the shelf area may be used. When only baggage area C is utilized, the eyebolts above and below the shelf area should be used. When the cabin floor (baggage areas A and B) is utilized for baggage, the four forward eyebolts and the eyebolts mounted above or below the shelf area should be used. When there is baggage in areas B and C, the eyebolts just aft of the baggage door and the eyebolts above and below the shelf area should be used. (Continued Next Page) |1821 182TPHAUS-02 U.S. 6-9 SECTION 6 CESSNA WEIGHT AND BALANCE/EQUIPMENT LIST MODEL 182T NAV III WEIGHT AND BALANCE (Continued) When baggage is contained in all three areas, the two forward eyebolts on the cabin floor, the eyebolts just aft of the baggage door or the eyebolts at the bottom of the forward portion of the shelf area and the eyebolts near the upper forward surface of the shelf area should be used. The rear bench seat can be removed to access the floorboard area of the rear cabin. Baggage may then be tied down using ten tiedown eyebolts to standard attach points located in the interior area of the airplane shown in Figure 6-6. The maximum allowable floor loading of the rear cabin area is 200 pounds/square foot; however, when items with small or sharp support areas are carried, the installation of a plywood floor is recommended to protect the airplane structure. The maximum rated load weight capacity for each of the ten tiedowns is 140 pounds. Rope, strap or cable used for tiedown should be rated at a minimum of ten times the load weight capacity of the tiedown fittings used. Weight and balance calculations for items in the area of the rear seat and baggage area can be figured on the Loading Graph using the lines labeled Rear Passengers or Cargo. 16-10 U.S. 182TPHAUS-02 CESSNA SECTION 6 MODEL 182T NAV III WEIGHT AND BALANCE/EQUIPMENT LIST SAMPLE LOADING PROBLEM WEIGHT AND MOMENT TABULATION SAMPLE ITEM DESCRIPTION AIRPLANE YOUR AIRPLANE Moment Moment Weight Weight (Lb-ins.
