However, there is not an alternative procedure for retracting the landing gear. The landing gear may be lowered using a hand pump to pressurize the hydraulic system in the event of a hydraulic pump failure. The gear position warning emits an intermittent tone through the cabin speaker when the landing gear is in the retracted position and either the throttle is reduced below 12' MAP or the flaps are extended beyond 20 degrees. This system includes a gear position warning.

In the Skylane RG, the landing gear retraction system uses hydraulic actuators powered by an electrically-driven pump. These models of the Cessna 182 offer 10-15% improvement in climb and cruise speeds over fixed gear models. The Cessna R182 became known as the 'Skylane RG'. The Cessna R182 and TR182 models with retractable landing gear were offered from 1978-1986, without and with engine turbo charging. Wing details such as flap and aileron design are the same as the 172 and are not like the 205/206. The Cessna 182's wing has the same planform as the smaller and the larger 205/206 series. The Cessna 182 is an all-metal aircraft with some parts, such as the engine cowling nosebowl and wingtips, made of fiberglass or thermoplastic material. Today the class cockpit is standard equipment. Cessna began offering the Garmin G1000 glass cockpit as an optional upgrade to the Cessna 182 Skylane in 2005. Models have been improved regularly to include features such as an enlarged baggage compartment, wider fuselage, higher gross weights, landing gear changes, and a swept vertical fin with rear 'omni-vision' window. With introduction as a tricycle gear variant of the Cessna 180, the 182 debuted in 1957 along with the name Skylane. More than 23,000 Cessna 182s have been built, including a version with retractable landing gear. The 182 is the second most popular Cessna model after the 172.

With its introduction in 1956, various models of the Cessna 182 and Turbo Skylane include the Cessna Model 182, 182A, 182B, 182C, 182D, 182E, 182F Skylane, Cessna 182G Skylane, 182H, 182I, 182J, Cessna 182K Skylane, 182L, 182M, 182N, 182O, Cessna 182P Skylane, Cessna 182Q Skylane, Cessna 182R Skylane, Cessna 182S Skylane, Cessna 182T Skylane, Cessna 182RG Skylane, T182, Cessna T182T Skylane, Cessna TR182RG Skylane, and TR182RG II. Cruise speed is 145 kn (167 mph, 269 km/h), stall speed is 49 kn (56 mph, 91 km/h), and the Cessna 182 should never exceed a speed of 175 kn (201 mph, 324 km/h). The empty weight is 1,970 lb (894 kg) and the gross weight is 3,110 lb (1,411 kg). The 182 has the capacity for one crew member and three passengers and also includes an option of adding two child seats which can be installed in the baggage area. The Cessna 182 Skylane is a light aircraft with a single engine and four seats.
