The Cessna 182 Skylane sits just above the 172 in Cessna’s single-engine lineup — more power, a bigger useful load, and one of the most popular step-up aircraft for pilots moving beyond basic trainers. It’s also a model with enough production history that confirming you have the right POH matters.

Confirm Your Exact Model First

The 182T designation covers multiple production years with different avionics packages and minor systems revisions. Before buying documentation, it’s worth cross-checking your aircraft’s exact configuration against its FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet — particularly if you’re buying a used aircraft and want to confirm the panel and equipment list match what the seller described.

Where to Find the 182T POH/AFM

We carry the combined Cessna Skylane 182T POH and FAA Approved AFM in digital PDF format, which functions as both the certificated flight manual and the fuller operating handbook — the same combined-document approach used on several other Cessna singles. As with any type this widely produced, minor formatting and revision differences exist between printings, so if you already have a copy and it looks slightly different from what you expected, that’s normal rather than a red flag.

Thinking About a Different Cessna Single?

If you’re comparing the 182 against other Cessna singles before buying, we also stock documentation for the Cessna 172 and the Cessna 150M, giving you a way to compare handling notes and systems side by side before deciding which airframe fits your mission.
