Aircraft Specifications
The Cessna T-182 Turbo Skylane features a maximum takeoff weight of 3,100 lbs (1,406 kg) and a useful load of approximately 1,200 lbs (544 kg). The aircraft is powered by a Lycoming IO-540-U4A5 engine, producing 235 horsepower. The fuel capacity is 65 gallons (246 liters), with 62 gallons (235 liters) usable.
Performance Data
The T-182 has a maximum cruise speed of 145 knots (167 mph) at 75% power. The stall speed in landing configuration is approximately 54 knots (62 mph). The rate of climb is about 1,000 feet per minute at sea level.
Operating Procedures
Pilots should perform a thorough preflight inspection, including checking fuel levels, oil levels, and control surfaces. The engine start procedure involves ensuring the mixture is rich, the throttle is open 1/4 inch, and the ignition switch is in the 'Start' position.
Emergency Procedures
In the event of an engine failure, pilots should establish best glide speed (approximately 70 knots) and look for a suitable landing area. If an emergency landing is necessary, maintain control of the aircraft and prepare for a landing approach.
Weight and Balance
Proper weight and balance calculations are critical for safe flight operations. The center of gravity limits for the T-182 must be adhered to, ensuring that the aircraft is loaded within specified limits for safe handling.
Safety notes
- Always perform a thorough preflight inspection before flight.
- Ensure weight and balance calculations are within limits.
- In case of engine failure, establish best glide speed immediately.

Knots calibrated airspeed is equal to KTAS in standard atmosphere at sea level. Knots Indicated Airspeed is the speed shown on the airspeed indicator and expressed in knots. Knots True Airspeed is the airspeed expressed in knots relative to undisturbed air which is KCAS corrected for altitude and temperature. Manuevering Speed is the maximum speed at which you may use abrupt control travel. Maximum Flap Extended Speed is the highest speed permissible with wing flaps in a prescribed extended position. Maximum Landing Gear Extended Speed is the maximum speed at which an airplane can be safely flown with the landing gear extended. Maximum Landing Gear Operating Speed is the maximum speed at which the landing gear can be safely extended or retracted. Maximum Structural Cruising Speed is the speed that should not be exceeded except in smooth air, then only with caution. Never Exceed Speed is the speed limit that may not be exceeded at any time. Stalling Speed or the minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable. Stalling Speed or the minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable in the landing configu ration at the most forward center of gravity. 1-6 1 October 1978 CESSNA MODEL TR182 SECTION 1 GENERAL Vy Best Angle-of-Climb Speed is the speed which results in the greatest gain of altitude in a given horizontal distance. Best Rate-of-Climb Speed is the speed which results in the greatest gain in altitude in a given time. METEOROLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY OAT Standard Tempera- ture Pressure Altitude Outside Air Temperature is the free air static temperature. It is expressed in either degrees Celsius or degrees Fah- renheit. Standard Temperature is 15°C at sea level pressure alti- tude and decreases by 2°C for each 1000 feet of altitude. Pressure Altitude is the altitude read from an altimeter when the altimeter's barometric scale has been set to 29.92 inches of mercury (1013 mb). ENGINE POWER TERMINOLOGY BHP RPM MP Brake Horsepower is the power developed by the engine. Revolutions Per Minute is engine speed. Manifold Pressure is a pressure measured in the engine" induction system and is expressed in inches of mercury (Hg). AIRPLANE PERFORMANCE AND FLIGHT PLANNING TERMINOLOGY Demon- strated Crosswind Velocity Usable Fuel Unusable Fuel GPH Demonstrated Crosswind Velocity is the velocity of the crosswind component for which adequate control of the airplane during takeoff and landing was actually demon- strated during certification tests. The value shown is not considered to be limiting. Usable Fuel is the fuel available for flight planning. Unusable Fuel is the quantity of fuel that can not be safely used in flight. Gallons Per Hour is the amount of fuel (in gallons) consumed per hour. 1 October 1978 1-7 SECTION 1 GENERAL CESSNA MODEL TR182 NMPG Nautical Miles Per Gallon is the distance (in nautical miles) which can be expected per gallon of fuel consumed at a specific engine power setting and/or flight configura- tion. g is acceleration due to gravity. WEIGHT AND BALANCE TERMINOLOGY Reference Datum Station Arm Moment Center of Gravity (C.G.) C.G. Arm C.G. Limits Standard Empty Weight Basic Empty Weight Useful Load Reference Datum is an imaginary vertical plane from which all horizontal distances are measured for balance purposes. Station is a location along the airplane fuselage given in terms of the distance from the reference datum. Arm is the horizontal distance from the reference datum to the center of gravity (C.G.) of an item. Moment is the product of the weight of an item multiplied by its arm. (Moment divided by the constant 1000 is used in this handbook to simplify balance calculations by reduc- ing the number of digits.) Center of Gravity is the point at which an airplane, or equipment, would balance if suspended. Its distance from the reference datum is found by dividing the total moment by the total weight of the airplane. Center of Gravity Arm is the arm obtained by adding the airplane's individual moments and dividing the sum by the total weight. Center of Gravity Limits are the extreme center of gravity locations within which the airplane must be operated at a given weight. Standard Empty Weight is the weight of a standard air- plane, including unusable fuel, full operating fluids and full engine oil. Basic Empty Weight is the standard empty weight plus the weight of optional equipment. Useful Load is the difference between ramp weight and the basic empty weight. 1-8 1 October 1978
