Cessna 180C history and development
The cataloged production period is 1960.
Cessna 180C is a Cessna 180 Skywagon-family model covered by FAA TCDS 5A6. The selected suffixes span 180C through 180K and multiple model-year changes. Engine, gross-weight, fuel and optional float/skiplane configurations vary across the series, so this page preserves unresolved figures as unverified technical values.
Cessna 180C fuel capacity
exact model-specific fuel capacity / usable fuel has not yet been verified from the applicable certification record, approved flight manual, or manufacturer data. Do not infer it from a neighboring Cessna/Reims-Cessna model or suffix.
Cessna 180C model applicability and configuration
Verify exact model designation, serial number, engine, fuel installation and approved configuration against the applicable certification record and individual aircraft documentation.
Cessna 180C weight and balance
Use the exact model/serial-number loading data and the individual aircraft's approved weight-and-balance record. No baggage limit is inferred from a related model. The exact model-specific maximum takeoff weight / gross weight remains unverified until the applicable approval section is verified. Operational loading must use the aircraft-specific empty weight, CG, station arms and limitations. Use the approved aircraft-specific documentation and current weight-and-balance record for operational calculations. WBcalc does not currently provide a model-specific Cessna 180C calculator.
