R182

The Cessna R182, commonly known as the Skylane RG (Retractable Gear), is a high-performance variant of the foundational Cessna 182 aircraft. Introduced in 1978, the R182 features retractable landing gear to enhance speed and fuel efficiency compared to its fixed-gear counterpart, making it a popular choice for private owners and light business transport.

Cessna, the manufacturer, has an indispensable place in general aviation history. The company traces its roots to Clyde Cessna’s early designs and was officially founded in 1927 in Wichita, Kansas. For decades, Cessna dominated the production of single-engine aircraft, creating models known for their reliability and ease of flight. This legacy cemented their role as a leading global aircraft producer.

Maintenance access for the R182’s various systems, including the Nose Section, Forward Fuselage, Landing Gear, and Wing areas, is crucial. Specialized platforms and solutions are available to address these needs. These access solutions include modular stepover platforms, super trestle scaffold, and cantilever platforms, ensuring detailed maintenance can be performed across critical sections such as the Main Landing Gear, engine components, and the AFT Fuselage.
