Cessna 182K history and development

The 182K forms part of the long-running Skylane development sequence. Changes between adjacent 182 variants include engine applicability, certified weight, fuel-system arrangement and loading details.

For that reason this page treats the 182K as a model-specific reference rather than assuming that data from another 182 variant automatically apply.

Cessna 182K fuel capacity

FAA TCDS 3A13 identifies 65 U.S. gallons total / 60 gallons usable.

Fuel-system applicability can vary by serial number on some 182K aircraft. Use the approved aircraft documentation rather than assuming the largest listed capacity applies to every airplane.

Cessna 182K model applicability and configuration

This page applies specifically to the Cessna 182K Skylane. Adjacent Cessna 182 variants can differ in engine, maximum weight, fuel capacity, baggage arrangement and center-of-gravity limits.

Always verify the aircraft serial number, current approved POH/AFM, equipment, modifications and current weight-and-balance record.

Cessna 182K weight and balance

The FAA model data identify a maximum weight of 2,800 lb and a baggage arrangement of 120 lb.

The model-level reference should not be used to infer a separate landing limit where the applicable FAA section does not state one separately.

WBcalc does not currently provide a model-specific 182K calculator. Operational loading calculations must use the approved data applicable to the individual airplane.

Always verify aircraft applicability. Check the current POH or AFM, equipment list and weight and balance records for the individual aircraft.
