Cessna TR182 history and development

The TR182 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 TR182 as a separate model rather than assuming that loading information from another Skylane version applies automatically.

Cessna TR182 fuel capacity

FAA type-certificate data identify serial-number-dependent 61/56, 80/75 or 92/88 U.S. gallon fuel configurations.

Fuel-system capacity varies by serial number. Early aircraft can use 61-gallon standard or 80-gallon long-range systems, while later airplanes use 92-gallon integral tanks. Exact applicability must therefore be matched to the aircraft serial number.

The applicable aircraft POH/AFM and serial number remain controlling for operational fuel loading.

Cessna TR182 model applicability and configuration

This page applies specifically to the Cessna TR182 Turbo Skylane RG. 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.

Cessna TR182 weight and balance

FAA TCDS 3A13 specifies a 3,100 lb maximum weight. No separate landing-weight value is inferred here.

FAA data identify two baggage areas with a 200 lb combined maximum combined loading.

WBcalc does not currently provide a model-specific TR182 calculator. Do not substitute another Cessna 182 calculator for this model unless the approved aircraft data explicitly establish equivalent applicability.

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

Cessna TR182 frequently asked questions
