What’s the difference between a Cessna 172 and 182?
The Cessna 172 can carry four full sized people, no luggage and about one hour’s worth of fuel. The Cessna 182 can carry four full sized people, a little luggage and about 5 hours worth of fuel, and travel faster doing it.
Which is bigger a 172 or a 182?
A 182 is definitely wider (as proof by the gap between the seats) and probably a little taller. That’s why I ask. I saw the width to be the same online but I find comments on forums that states the 182s have roomier cabins than 172s and pa28s. Where would you say the 182 is different? Is there more shoulder/elbow room for pilot and passenger?
How big is the cabin in a Cessna 182?
The Cessna website now says 40 inches for the C-172 (I think that’s optimistic) and 42 inches for the C-182. Cessna interiors are clunky, clostrophobic, crude compared to modern aircraft like the Cirrus SR22 and the little Flight Design CT. The CT has a 50 inch wide cabin and leather bucket seats.
