The 182 P (1971) appears to have the same Continental O-470 as
earlier models back to 1965 and the even earlier ones had a different
designation O-470 but still 230HP.
Only difference appears to be a higher gross weight (2950lbs on the P
which is the same weight as as the 1969 N model) and as you wouldn't
be towing at gross (I hope) why is this any different fom any other
Continental engined 182? I'm sure I've had tows behind 182s in
Australia. Most of the Cessna versions were just the marketing
department's spin on the same old, same old. Not that the 182 is in
any way a bad aircraft. Surely it would be acceptable to reduce the
gross weight for towing to that of the earlier models that have been
used for towing? The 182 has plenty of payload so even if used for
tow pilot training you could carry the people and plenty of fuel.
Besides, from talking to GA pilots few seem to know or care what the
empty weight of their aircraft is or the payload they can carry and
still be at or below gross. I learned this when phoning people about
aircraft they had for sale.

Yep, different model. I'm hoping to strike lucky and get performance
figures for the 182P.
I haven't been able to get much info from club members about that Cessna.
I'm also learning a lot about the paperwork process.
Thanks to those who have so far responded, I'm getting some really
useful info, keep it coming.

Pam,
Didn't DDSC used to operate a C182?

Tim Laider's 182 had a hook and he towed with it. I think it was
done on an STC.
Tims details can be found here

We plan to use a Cessna 182P for towing. Does anyone out there have
a Cessna 182P already towing and if so, could they help us with info
on approvals, P-charts and flight manual supplements?
If we can obtain figures already issued by CASA or an engineering
firm it will save us time and money.
P-charts for a Cessna 182 of lower engine performance would also be
helpful, as we could say the performance will be at least as good.
CASA used to issue these approvals, P-charts and supplements, but
these days the work is done by private firms. I have been in touch
with AutoAvia of Bankstown and their advice is to see what info we
can find from similar A/C already towing.
Many thanks
