Cabin width
 
Here's an email inquiry I received from Craig Lundborg. Anybody have the data handy? He inquired on August 1st, which should give you an idea how far behind I am in my life right now...

Hi,
I love your site...and am thinking about possible ownership....can you tell me what the inside cabin width is...I find every other dimension but that one. I am in need of at least the width of a 182.

Thank You,
Craig Lundborg

Cabin Length: 119" (Measured from firewall to firewall)

If you need any other data, just holler.

Are pre 1973 Skymasters wider at the 5-6 seats row than newer ones, as is stated in Ricardo Guinandīs article shown in this site?

yes
 
All the widths are wider on the pre-73, non-turbo models. Ours is a 69, and while I don't know the figures, it is wider inside than Jerry DeSantis's 73 pressurizde model.

Ideal cabin size.
 
The cabin is a perfect size when you have a 20 yr junior copilot or instructor................... oh yes, of the opposite sex...

And Don can attest to the intimacy of the cockpit during his checkride... Eh Don?

We don't need to go into the details of my latest checkride, Bob. Suffice it to say that, according to the examiner, I met "the minimum requirements." As for being "intimate", my sweat was dripping all over him.

Now, my wife likes the intimacy of the cabin.:D

Hey Don,

Not to worry about the examiner... like most humanoids, they're very subjective to the 'way they'd a dunnit', and some are like Cats...they lick their paws too much <G>. Ah, but next time, go unpressurized and pull the T-bars... and you'll have more of a cool forehead! No sweat.

Does anyone know (or can anyone measure the next time they're at the airport) the distance between the back of the pilot's seat and the rear firewall when the seat is in a normal position? If you're measuring, take the measurement about 18" up. This would be more useful to me than knowing it's 119" firewall to firewall.

For the early models, would there really be a difference in cabin width between the TC and NA models?

I measured Herb's plane and found it to be about 67" with the seat in a normal position.

There should be no difference in the B, C, D, F models in width for the Turbo vs Normal
