Cessna 182T model applicability and configuration

The 182T model designation identifies the certified model, but avionics, equipment, interiors, optional installations and approved modifications can vary between individual airplanes and production years.

For operating limitations and weight and balance, use the current POH or AFM, supplements, equipment list and current weight and balance records for the specific serial number and installed configuration.

Cessna 182T weight and balance

Cessna 182T weight and balance calculations must use the certified loading limits and the current basic empty weight and moment or arm for the individual airplane.

Current factory reference specifications list a maximum ramp weight of 3,110 lb, maximum takeoff weight of 3,100 lb and maximum landing weight of 2,950 lb. These model-level limits do not replace the approved data for a specific aircraft.

Fuel, occupants and baggage must be loaded within the applicable station and compartment limits. The current POH or AFM, supplements and aircraft weight and balance records remain the controlling references.
