Aircraft Manufacturer: Cessna
Model: T182T
About the Cessna T182T
On safety, the Cessna T182T sits at about a quarter on its peer percentile, where a higher percentile means a higher accident rate than comparable types. That places the T182T below most types in its peer cohort of the same aircraft type, engine class, and seat range on accident rate. Its accident rate runs at about 3 per 1,000 aircraft-years over the type's FAA-registration exposure. Of 40 recorded T182T accidents, 9 were fatal.
By fleet, the Cessna T182T holds the 24th-largest active registration in Cessna's lineup, with more than 700 aircraft on the U.S. civil registry. The T182T accounts for about 1% of Cessna's active registered fleet. About three-quarters of all registry records ever held for the type remain registered.
Seven airworthiness directives stand active against the Cessna T182T, matching the total ever issued. The most recent AD applicable to the T182T is dated May 2, 2007.

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).

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.
