The T182T is part of the Cessna Skylane family, a staple of general aviation. This single-engine, four-seat, high-wing aircraft is known for its durability and reliable performance. The “T” designation indicates it is turbo-charged, offering improved performance at higher altitudes. The T182T model features the Garmin G1000 avionics system.
Cessna, the manufacturer, was founded in 1927 by Clyde Vernon Cessna. The company pioneered the mass production of private aircraft, beginning with the iconic 172 Skyhawk and the 182 Skylane series. Cessna established itself as a foundational name in aviation, producing thousands of aircraft used globally for training, private transport, and utility missions.
A range of platforms and access solutions support methodical maintenance across the T182T. Reach Deck Platforms, Modular Stepover Platforms, Ultraraise, and Easyraise provide access for the Nose Section (including radome, antenna, and windshield/cockpit) and the Forward Fuselage (for cabin access and environmental control system work). The Cantilever Platform and Super Maintenance Platform are ideal for the Middle Fuselage/Wing Box area, facilitating access to fuel tanks and wing inspection.
For the Wing and Engine Pylon sections, including maintenance on the engine body, fan, and hydraulics, platforms like the Super Trestle Scaffold and Super Service Stand are utilized. These solutions also aid detailed work on the Tail Section, such as the vertical and horizontal stabilizers, ensuring safety and precision during maintenance.
