history

Reims Cessna F182Q

Cessna 182N Skylane

Cessna 182N Skylane

The aircraft was introduced in 1956. In 1957, the Cessna 182 A, which had some improvements and was first named "Skylane", was presented. Variants of the Lycoming O-540 and the Continental O-470 are used as drives .

Cessna issued licenses for production to DINFIA in Argentina , where the aircraft was named A182, and to Reims Aviation in France , which rebuilt it under the name F182.

The Cessna 182 was and is built in a number of variants. Due to strict product liability regulations, the company stopped manufacturing in 1985. By then, 21,864 had been built, 169 of them F182 and FR182 at Reims Aviation. In 1996, the Cessna 182 went through another approval process. The first flight of the new prototype with the designation 182S was on July 15, 1996. The approval was granted by the FAA in the same month. As a result, production was resumed in September 1996 and has continued to this day.
