Cessna 182 & T182 Illustrated Parts Catalog 1974–1986 (P/N P690-12)

This Cessna illustrated parts catalog, P/N P690-12, covers the 1974–1986 182 and T182 series, including Reims/Cessna F182, Skylane, and Turbo Skylane variants. Reissued March 1, 1996, it replaces the August 5, 1983 catalog and incorporates the listed 1985, 1986, and 1995 revisions.

PDF Reading, Indexes and Page Count

Text search and navigation: PDF text search is not available, and there are no embedded PDF bookmarks. Printed alphabetical and numerical indexes support manual lookup. Smaller illustration callouts are easier to read when enlarged.

One printable English PDF contains 758 pages: 60 pages of front matter and 698 pages covering the parts section and numerical index. The reissue sheet, cover material, and 39 blank pages are included in that total.

Airframe, Flight-Control and Equipment Parts

The following selected catalog contents outline the main systems. Additional illustrated topics include oxygen equipment and cabin heating and defrosting.

• Airframe structure: Exploded views and indexed parts lists for wing spars, skins, stringers, fuselage bulkheads, doors, windows, and empennage assemblies.

• Landing gear and brakes: Nose-gear shock struts, steering, shimmy dampeners, main landing gear, and wheel-and-brake assemblies with configuration-specific parts listings.

• Flight controls: Aileron and elevator control layouts, elevator trim mechanisms, electric trim components, flap controls, and the elevator trim tab actuator.

• Engine and propeller installations: Mounts, cowling, baffles, exhaust assemblies, propeller installations, and turbocharger and wastegate-control components.

• Fuel and oil systems: Standard- and extended-range tank arrangements, integral fuel cells, selector valves, strainers, primer installations, and oil-system components.

• Electrical and vacuum equipment: Installation views and parts identification for batteries, alternators, starter contactors, lighting, vacuum pumps, filters, and relief valves.

This catalog is suited to aircraft maintenance personnel and parts staff familiar with illustrated assembly breakdowns and aircraft serial applicability.

Serial Applicability and Replacement Parts

The catalog provides detailed breakdowns of airframe assemblies for repair planning and parts identification. Figure callouts link components to part numbers, quantities, attaching hardware, and assembly relationships.

Usable On Codes: Applicability letters refer only to the figure in which they appear. Their serial-number definitions are listed with that figure, so a code from one assembly cannot be carried over to another.

Replacement notes distinguish non-interchangeable parts from later substitutes identified by “WEU” (When Exhausted Use). Checking those notes alongside the aircraft serial number helps distinguish the correct replacement from a similar-looking component.

The main-gear wheel and brake listings also restrict which assemblies may be paired. Selecting a brake by appearance alone can result in an incompatible wheel-and-brake combination.

Assembly Views and Repair Scope

Illustrations such as Integral Fuel Cell Installation, Nose Gear Shock Strut Assembly, Elevator Trim Tab Actuator Assembly, and Turbocharger Installation show component relationships and their associated hardware.

Electrical Equipment Installation drawings locate equipment and identify its parts; they are assembly illustrations rather than circuit troubleshooting schematics.

Parts identification, not overhaul instructions: These views support component identification and repair planning, but do not provide step-by-step disassembly, inspection, adjustment, or reassembly procedures. Engine-component listings refer to separate Continental or Lycoming parts catalogs for additional detail, while propeller and governor notes direct readers to the applicable supplier publications.

Autopilot, avionics communication and navigation equipment, and accessory-kit listings are handled in separate publications. Inspection, maintenance, and parts requirements for STC installations are outside this catalog’s stated coverage.

For flight-control and brake work, use the applicable maintenance instructions alongside this catalog and verify compatibility against current manufacturer data before installation.

Finish, Trim and Ordering Details

Year-specific finish and paint charts identify exterior colors and paint references. Upholstery and interior-trim tables explain the additional color or material information needed for affected part numbers.

Assembly indentation distinguishes major assemblies from their component parts. Separate attaching-parts entries identify mounting hardware, while bulk-item listings provide material descriptions and installation lengths.

Selected Engine-Hose Lengths

For Continental-powered 182 and F182 engine assemblies, Figure 126 lists S51-12 breather hose at 3.0 in. long as a bulk item.

The same figure identifies S1955-20 carburetor-heat hose with a 26.0 in. length. These are catalog dimensions for identifying hose material, not inspection clearances or wear limits.
