Cessna 182P history and development
The 182P 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 182P as a model-specific reference rather than assuming that data from another 182 variant automatically apply.
Cessna 182P fuel capacity
FAA TCDS 3A13 identifies serial-number-dependent standard and long-range systems ranging from 56 to 79 U.S. gallons usable.
Fuel-system applicability can vary by serial number on some 182P aircraft. Use the approved aircraft documentation rather than assuming the largest listed capacity applies to every airplane.
Cessna 182P model applicability and configuration
This page applies specifically to the Cessna 182P 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 182P weight and balance
The FAA model data identify a maximum weight of 2,950 lb and a baggage arrangement of 200 lb combined.
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 182P calculator. Operational loading calculations must use the approved data applicable to the individual airplane.
