Restart 182 Systems & Procedures Course
Our Restart 182 Systems & Procedures Course covers the 1997 and newer 182 models. It is intended for the following models: 182S, 182T and T182T.
The three day course covers the details of every system in the 182: Flight Controls, Landing Gear, Electrical, Hydraulic, Fuel, Pressurization, Propeller, Powerplant and Engine Management. Friday afternoon will start off with the history and general introduction to the 182. You’ll then jump right into the technical analysis of the aircraft. On the second day, you’ll begin with the Wheels and Brakes, the Fuel System, and Powerplant and more. The day will wrap up with a Hands-on Aircraft Inspection. The final day of the course will continue with discussions on Powerplant Management, Tactical Data Analysis and Utilities.
A Bit of 182 History
As general aviation moved into the mid-1950s, tricycle landing gear became the rage. So for the 1956 model year Cessna decided to introduce tricycle gear versions of the Cessna 170 and 180, to be called the Cessna 172 and Cessna 182 respectively.
In 1986 Cessna ceased production of their single engine aircraft due to increasing product liability lawsuits. With the passage of the General Aviation Revitalization Act in 1994, Cessna announced it would resume production, but it wasn’t until 1997 that the new 182, an S model, was introduced. The S and the T models are the first to sport Lycoming’s O-540 engine.
The first section of the course you’ll take a look at all the upgrades and modifications by model year. You’ll have a better understanding as to why CPA began offering these very comprehensive Systems & Procedures Courses.
You’ll leave this course knowing more about your 182 than you ever thought possible.
