About the Cessna 182T
The Cessna 182T Skylane is a four-seat, single-engine light airplane built by Cessna of Wichita, Kansas. More than 900 are on the U.S. civil registry, and by active fleet the Skylane ranks 18th within Cessna's lineup.
Over the type's FAA-registration exposure, accidents run at about 2.5 per 1,000 aircraft-years. The 182T records a higher accident rate than about 12% of its peer cohort of similar size and engine class, a lower accident rate than most comparable types. Of 49 recorded accidents, 10 involved a fatality.
About a third of all registry records ever held for the type have been deregistered. The FAA lists 7 active airworthiness directives against the model, the most recent of them dated May 2, 2007.

What sellers are asking for the Cessna 182T, across current listings, grouped by model year.
As of October 17, 2026. How we calculate this.
| Years | Currency | Typical asking range | Median |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000–2004 | USD | ≈ $330k – $400k | ≈ $340k |
| 2005–2009 | USD | ≈ $320k – $360k | ≈ $360k |
| 2020–2024 | USD | ≈ $640k – $710k | ≈ $680k |
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).
44 exact, 3 recovered, 2 provisional
MethodologyTotal recorded general-aviation accidents within the analyzed period.
10 fatal accidents.
20.4% of recorded accidents were fatal.

Aircraft-years of FAA registration exposure (2008–present).
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.
