The early 182's are used for hauling skydivers and have been approved
for 5 jumpers with a pilot. Thats 6 people in a 182.
I've seen 7 people in a 182 with a 300lb pilot, now thats another story.

The seats have been removed to provide space and reduce weight.
Since the aircraft has been approved for 5 skydivers, you might be able
to get it approved for 5 people as long as you don't go out of the CG
envelope and have seat belts for each passenger.

Hard to find, but Cessna 205 is cheaper than 210 or 206.

You don't want a 205. Only got 260 hp and has the 182 wing.


It's a tri-gear version of the 185. Has the 185 wing and engine. Wingspan is 8"
greater than the 182.


Weighs more than a 182.


True.


Gets outperformed by a 182.


It's faster, climbs better, and can haul more than a 182. The 185, on the other hand,
will beat it.
