Now there's a new Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) that will increase the useful load of your Cessna 182P or 182Q by 150 to 160 pounds, and your ramp weight (in most cases) by 160 pounds.

Best of all, this new STC requires no parts, no modifications, and no installation labor costs. One low initial price, and your airplane suddenly gains greater utility, value, and safety benefits.

How did we do this? By investing in a multi-year FAA engineering, flight test, and certification program. We call the STC a Fresh Pick because no similar STC has been introduced for your airplane since it was built some 28 to 36 years ago.

Eligibilities

Benefits

  • An increase in useful load of 150 - 160 pounds
  • A potential increase in in payload of up to 160 pounds
  • A ramp weight increase to 3110 pounds (up from 2950 or 2960 pounds)
  • A Maximum Gross Takeoff Weight (MGTOW) of 3100 pounds (up from 2950)
  • An increase of 260 to 310 nautical miles or more in range *
  • An increase of 2 to 2.6 hours or more in endurance *
  • The widest CG range of any fixed gear Cessna 182 ever built
    * These numbers assume that the increased MGTOW is used for fuel only, and will vary with specific fuel consumption and your chosen cruise power settings.

Вопросы и ответы
What advantage is there to incorporating your STC?

Your ramp weight is increased to 3110 pounds, your Maximum Gross Takeoff Weight (MGTOW) to 3100 pounds. This allows you to legally take off with an additional 150 to 160 pounds of useful load or payload.

What changes are made to my airplane?

Absolutely none. There are no parts required, no installations to be made, no labor costs to consider. Your IA/A&P or other maintenance provider may charge you for completing the required FAA Form 337, and signing it, thereby "returning your airplane to service." As the "installer" it is his or her responsibility to assess the compatibility of our STC with any previous major repairs or alterations that your airplane has undergone. In most cases, this should be a straightforward matter unless your airplane has had many previous mods and insufficient paperwork.

I'm confused. Is this a gross weight increase, a ramp weight increase, a useful load increase, or a payload increase?

Yes, this is a little confusing. Actually, the STC allows all four.

Since it does not increase the empty weight of your airplane (OK, less a few ounces for the required STC paperwork!), your max gross takeoff weight is increased by 150 pounds. If your airplane is a 1978 - 1980 182Q model, this represents an increase in useful load of 150 pounds as well. Your original ramp weight was 2960 before we increased it to 3110.

Is this STC also accepted by EASA?

Yes and no. Many countries have reciprocal airworthiness agreements with the United States that allow an FAA issued STC to be accepted by the foreign airworthiness authorities without further showing. New Zealand and Australia are two examples. In many cases, depending on the complexity of the STC (this one is rather straightforward), certification authorities have just "accepted" the FAA STC on its face. Generally, however, the process is becoming more formalized. The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for example, works closely with FAA to "validate" US STCs for Europe.

Can a previous STC installed in my airplane preclude incorporating your STC?

This would be a very unusual situation. However, should none of the "authorized persons" be willing to sign your 337, your investment is safe. 100% of your purchase price will be refunded, given that you return all documents along with a written explanation of why the STC could not be incorporated, within 60 days of purchase.

My 182Q has a Texas Skyways conversion to an O-520 engine. Would this make a difference in being able to use the STC?

Per the manufacturer, this aircraft will have no problem using the STC.

Does this STC also increase the max landing weight?

The landing weight remains at 2950 pounds, so you must flight plan accordingly. This is also true for all the fixed gear Cessna 182's built from 1981 through the present day.

This does not apply to a 1979 TR182 correct?

Correct, the following models are eligible:
