The Water Ops | Cessna 172/180/182/185 Floatplane

The Cessna 182 on floats takes one of aviation’s most trusted workhorses and gives it a whole lot more places to land. Rugged, dependable, and remarkably capable, the float-equipped Skylane has spent decades hauling pilots, passengers, and gear into lakes and remote backcountry destinations far beyond the reach of a runway. It’s not the fastest or flashiest airplane on the water, and that’s exactly the point. The 182 earned its reputation by simply going where you need it to go and bringing you home again.
