The Cessna 182B is a four-seat, high-wing, fixed-tricycle-gear piston single associated with the 1959 model year. It uses the Continental O-470-L rated at 230 hp and has a maximum takeoff weight of 2,650 lb.

Compared with the original 1956 Model 182 represented in this reference, the 182B retains the same engine model and power rating but has a higher certificated weight and greater total standard fuel capacity.

The Cessna 182B is associated with the 1959 model year and is certificated under FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet 3A13.

It uses the Continental O-470-L rated at 230 hp at 2,600 rpm. Maximum takeoff weight is 2,650 lb, compared with 2,550 lb for the original 1956 Model 182 represented in this reference.

The 182B belongs to the early development period of the 182 family before later variants adopted other O-470 engine versions and additional airframe changes.

Standard fuel capacity is 65 U.S. gallons total with 55 gallons usable.

Total capacity and usable fuel are different quantities. Confirm the installed fuel system and applicable loading data from the approved documentation for the individual aircraft.

Model-level specifications identify the basic 182B variant, but individual airplanes may differ because of installed equipment, repairs and approved modifications.

Operating limitations and weight and balance calculations must use the documentation and current aircraft records applicable to the specific airplane.

The 182B retains the O-470-L and 230 hp rating of the original Model 182 but increases maximum takeoff weight by 100 lb. Standard total fuel capacity is also greater, although the reference usable-fuel quantity remains 55 U.S. gallons.

Cessna 182B weight and balance calculations must use the current basic empty weight and moment or arm together with the approved loading limits for the individual aircraft.

The model-level 2,650 lb maximum takeoff weight and fuel capacities shown here do not replace the current approved weight and balance data for a specific airplane.

Use the applicable approved operating documentation, supplements, equipment records and current weight and balance record for the individual aircraft.
