Olav Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 I have owned two 182s over the years. Great planes. But can be nose heavy in landing if lightly loaded in back in particular. Wrinkled firewalls are a common sight with 182s indicating a heavy nose wheel hit…and is an item that should be looked at carefully in a pre-buy inspection. Unfortunately too many 182s have suffered this sort of poor landing over the years… This one took a good hit indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngpilot Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I think it is a 210? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastEddieB Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Weren't the vast majority of 210's strutless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingMonkey Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Weren't the vast majority of 210's strutless? 206 had struts IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Cesnalis Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 According to the line man this 182 landed on 27 with gusts to 50kts. The incident happened at Alpha 1, turning off the runway there would likely put the bulk of that 50kts on your tail. Two lessons here, Avoid the 1st 3,000' of 27 when southerly crosswinds exceed 15kts. Request wing walkers before turning downwind to exit the runway.

Anticept Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 The first couple years in the 60's when the 210 started production had strut 210's before they went to cantilever design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastEddieB Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 That's why I cushioned my comment with "the vast majority", not knowing what years or how many were strutted. But thanks for confirming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
