Cessna 182S history and development
The 182S represents a distinct development branch within the Skylane family. Cessna changed engines, landing-gear arrangement, fuel systems and certificated loading limits across the 182 series.
For this reason, this page treats the 182S as a separate model rather than assuming that loading information from another Skylane version applies automatically.
Cessna 182S fuel capacity
FAA type-certificate data identify 92 U.S. gallons total / 88 gallons usable.
The applicable aircraft POH/AFM and serial number remain controlling for operational fuel loading.
Cessna 182S model applicability and configuration
This page applies specifically to the Cessna 182S Skylane. Adjacent Cessna 182 variants can differ substantially in engine, landing gear, fuel capacity, certified weight and center-of-gravity limits.
Always confirm serial number, approved POH/AFM, installed equipment, modifications and the current aircraft weight-and-balance record.

WBcalc does not currently provide a model-specific 182S calculator. Do not substitute another Cessna 182 calculator for this model unless the approved aircraft data explicitly establish equivalent applicability.
