About the Cessna 182N
The Cessna 182N carries a measured safety record of 15 recorded accidents over its FAA-registration exposure, a rate of about 2.3 accidents per 1,000 aircraft-years. Of those 15 recorded accidents, 2 were fatal. Set against its peer cohort of the same type, engine class, and seat range, the 182N lands at about one in ten on the percentile scale, where a higher percentile means a higher accident rate. At that level the 182N posts a lower accident rate than most comparable types in its cohort.
One airworthiness directive applies to the Cessna 182N, and one AD has been issued against it in total. The most recent AD applicable to the model is dated April 25, 2007.
On the registry, the Cessna 182N has more than 300 aircraft still on the U.S. civil rolls. About 60% of all registry records ever held for the model remain registered. The 182N is the 71st-largest active fleet in Cessna's lineup and accounts for about 0.5% of the manufacturer's active registered fleet.

What sellers are asking for the Cessna 182N, across current listings, grouped by model year.
As of October 14, 2026. How we calculate this.
| Years | Currency | Typical asking range | Median |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1970–1974 | USD | ≈ $130k – $180k | ≈ $160k |
These are asking prices, not sale prices. What any one aircraft asks or sells for can swing widely with airframe and engine condition, damage history, avionics, paint and interior, logbooks and service records, and plenty else a listing never shows.
Safety Analysis
Composition of NTSB accident records for this model in general-aviation operations (FAR Part 91 and 137), based on NTSB data as of May 1, 2026. It's a breakdown of recorded accidents rather than a safety rating, and types with significant non-GA operation (such as Part 135) may be under-represented.
Accidents are identity-confirmed against FAA registration records (two independent sources).

Within its peer cohort
Within this model's peer class (same aircraft type, engine class, and seat range), comparison of its share of recorded NTSB accidents to its share of FAA registration exposure (aircraft-years since 2008).
This is a share comparison, not flight-hours adjusted, so a model flown more per airframe than its peers will show an accident share above its exposure share even if its per-hour safety is average. Methodology →
Accidents by year
Recorded NTSB general-aviation accidents per calendar year, derived directly from the NTSB accident database. Each bar shows the accidents that occurred in that year. Methodology →
Phase of flight
Which phase of flight each accident occurred in, as coded by the NTSB. Most accidents happen in the phases where most flying time is concentrated, so this isn't a measure of which phase is most dangerous.
Finding category
Top-level NTSB cause category, from the coded investigation findings. An accident often has more than one finding, so totals here can exceed the recorded accident count.
Injury severity
NTSB classification of the worst injury in each accident: None, Minor, Serious, or Fatal. Each accident counts in exactly one severity.
