Cessna 182 Is It The Very Best Ever Made?

[@mikeparker6322]

As a former C172 owner I can say the 182 has the ideal combination of power, speed, useful load, range and because it is a high wing airplane ideal in emergency landing scenarios.

[@azcountry6064]

Could not agree more. Let's not forget forgiving.

[@thomasfreiesleben]

Great video. I also have ditched the cap because the ANR headsets work so much better if they are properly sealed at the ear cups. I recently acquired a 182T and also appreciate your tip re: fuel return to the left tank. Keep the blue side up 🙂

[@craigmeek6026]

My dad was a pilot for over 50 yrs and out of all the Airplanes he owned.. He said his 1976 Cessna 182p skylane was the Best.

[@philliphill3390]

Thank you for your video. I passed my written but do not have much time in left seat which was long time ago--my written has expired. I enjoy and do very well "flying" on Microsoft flight sim but the sim weather does not simulate what you covered in this video which is REAL LIFE flying, ie, thermals, downdrafts, etc, even with an extra weather 'patch' dovetailed into the program. It's fun, but I don't use it as a 'game'. I fly seriously when I sim-fly. That's why I enjoy your videos because you illustrate the real aspects of flying in REAL weather. Looking forward to more.

[@HookedOnUtah]

Phillip, thanks for watching. I hope you can find the time to retake your written and get your PL, flying is so much fun. You'll be surprised at how good of a pilot you will be because of your sim time. It makes a real difference. Cheers!

I take the top button off all of my caps. I like the visor when flying. Nice video

[@thomasranieri6358]

182 is my favorite plane , in its class!! Fast and extra power for shorter runways!!

Mine too, the 182 is my dream plane.

[@terrencebradley5417]

Always liked the 182. But really preferred the 182RG.

[@michaelquillen2679]

Don't know why, but I prefer the 172 over the 182. Learned to fly in the 70s in Laramie. WY, at 7220'. Have flown the mountains in both the 152 and 172. Agree with you, the late in the day in the summer can be brutally bumpy. Thanks for the video!

[@halgridlocker4540]

Lots of good info. Was hoping to hear that the '182 was a less bumpy ride than the '172. I don't like to get 'center punched' in the head, either! LOL!

[@thomasranieri6358]

It does have a smoother ride then the 172! Faster too!

[@kristensorensen2219]

Nice Skylane. My favorite C-182 was the turbo RG version. Close to a C-210 two less seats. I never found it so bumpy but I would fly at 15,000. Nice and cool and smooth. I didn't know these had a supercharger? Weird!

[@HookedOnUtah]

The supercharge is an STC, forced automotive out of Denver. Super cool

[@kristensorensen2219]

@@HookedOnUtah I'm not clear STC? Is it electrically driven or a direct system? I'M curious how you feel a turbocharger compares. Likely more $$. For a turbo.

[@HookedOnUtah]

@@kristensorensen2219 A supercharger is not a standard option, it's essentially and aftermarket product approved by the FAA, the make must receive a make and model STC from the FAA to put it on. I love it, a little less power at high altitudes, however you don't get the heat issues that come from a Turbo.

[@kristensorensen2219]

@@HookedOnUtah STC translation? Didn't mention what drives your supercharger; belt, chain, electric motor? Comparative in of MP boost vs a nominal turbocharger? Or how high can you maintain full power? Thanks.🤔😁🌈🌞💖

[@iansage5616]

@@kristensorensen2219 STC stands for Supplemental Type Certificate. It is the end result of the extensive FAA process of getting an aftermarket approved for a non-experimental aircraft. The FAT system is belt driven. "Full" normalized power should be available up to 7000-8000'. While this is lower than any of the turbo systems available it is lighter, cooler, makes 99% of north American airports functionally sea level, and provides 75%ish cruise power at 12000-14000'. Depending on the mission it provides different benefits and drawbacks when compared to other more traditional options on the market.

Could you let me know what avionics you have in the com area? Looks great thank you

[@travelveteran]

What years/models are the best for the 182? I am a 250 hour pilot looking for a long term plane to own. I heard the 1978 and older models have issues with fuel bladders. I also hear the hydraulic system on the RG versions has issues as well. Anyways, thanks for your tips!

[@HFJCHS123]

We had a 1979 182 fixed gear with wet wings so no bladder issues. Nice plane. Airframe and engine were low maintenance for us. We did spend some funds each year maintaining the avionics and instrumentation up for IFR use.

[@chucklemasters6433]

the straight tails were the best ever but no 182 comes close to a C180!

[@muhammadsteinberg]

If you're carrying passengers a lot I can see the advantage of a 182 over a 172. If you're flying solo most of the time you're just burning extra gas for nothing imo. I'm slower in my 172 but my operating expense and cost to own is lower.

[@codybrooks2696]

How tall is the fella flying? I'm 6'7 and trained in a Cherokee. Let me tell you, it wasn't comfy lol pilot looks like a tall fella and looks like he has ample head and leg room.

[@HookedOnUtah]

Cody, I'm 6,1 lots of room, I'm mainly talking about rough air and needing to synch down the belt so I don't bang my head on the roof. Thanks a ton for watching.

[@pamagee2011]

As someone who has hundreds of hours in Mooneys and Bonanzas, and once owned a Cirrus SR22, I think the notion that a Skylane is the “best ever” sounds pretty funny to me. HOWEVER.... I sold my Bonanza and have just joined a flying club where the best airplane they have is a 182. I am about to start my orientation to this plane, and the only Cessna I ever flew-for maybe 100 hrs- was a Cardinal.

[@brycecampbell4845]

Yes, at climb out, Cruise is 15 to 13 depending on altitude and power setting! That comes with having high horsepower and a plane that will perform in mountains and at higher loads and altitudes!

I fly a '62 C182E. 12gph at full power and 10gph at cruise. I've had it leaned as low as 9gph in cruise. 62 gallons usable & 230hp performs great in the mountains.

@@HookedOnUtah I had no idea there was an STC for that. Interesting, I’ll have to look into that. Is is cheaper that a turbo? Is it a lighter application? Seems like it could be heavier. Does it have a charge cooler as well?

[@HookedOnUtah]

@@robertd4468 The SC has some great benefits, it's lighter than a turbo, produces very little heat, it has its own oil reservoir, however it is belt driven so you won't get the manifold pressure you get from a TC. I love it, I live in Utah and for the mountain flying I do, I've get sea level MFP all the way to 11K, then it starts to drop off from there.

[@robertd4468]

@@HookedOnUtah I just went to the website. Very interesting application. Not cheap though at $22,000 + an estimated 40 hour install. I suppose living in the west, forced induction is a must do the high density altitude situations and mountainous terrain. I used to live out in AZ and we had our mountains there too. Had to circumnavigate the Flagstaff area because of mountains in NA aircraft. I think the advantage of not having to worry about TIT or over boosting seems attractive. Not coking the turbo bearings due to improper cool down also seems advantageous.
