Den Cessna A-185F Skywagon er et enmotors, høyvinget, seks-seters lett bruksfly produsert av den amerikanske produsenten Cessna Aircraft Company. Det er en utvikling av Cessna 180-modellen, med en kraftigere motor, en større hytte og landingsutstyr på halehjulet. A-185F-modellen ble introdusert i 1973 og hadde en Continental IO-520-D-motor med drivstoffinnsprøytning med 300 hk, en trebladet propell og en ryggfinne for forbedret stabilitet. A-185F hadde også et større bagasjerom, en bredere bakrute og en valgfri belly cargo pod. A-185F var den siste Skywagon-modellen som ble produsert, da Cessna avviklet linjen i 1985. A-185F er populær blant bushpiloter, som bruker den til ulike oppdrag som charterfly, luftfotografering, brannslukking, fallskjermhopping og humanitær hjelp. A-185F har en maksimal hastighet på 155 knop, en rekkevidde på 845 nautiske mil og et servicetak på 17,150 fot. A-185F er kjent for sin robusthet, pålitelighet og allsidighet.

General Characteristics (A185F Variant)
The Cessna 185 Skywagon is a rugged, high-wing, single-engine utility aircraft designed for general aviation and demanding operations in remote areas. Introduced as a more powerful version of the Cessna 180, the 185 is famous for its exceptional useful load and conventional (tailwheel) landing gear, making it a favorite among bush pilots and operators requiring short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities.

Design and Powerplant
- Engine: One Continental IO-520-D six-cylinder, fuel-injected, air-cooled piston engine (on later models).
- Power Output: 224 kW (300 hp) for takeoff (285 hp continuous).
- Propeller: Typically a 2-bladed or optional 3-bladed constant-speed propeller.
- Fuselage: All-metal monocoque construction with a high wing and fixed, non-retractable conventional (tailwheel) landing gear.
- Versatility: Can be easily converted to various roles, often fitted with floats (seaplane) or skis for operation on water or snow/ice, thanks to its high useful load and power.
- Useful Load: The high useful load (up to 1,600+ lb) is a key feature, allowing it to carry substantial cargo or full fuel/passengers simultaneously.
Performance and Key Features
- Max Cruise Speed: Up to 269 km/h (167 mph, 145 knots).
- Maximum Range: Approximately 1,330 km (720 nautical miles) with standard fuel.
- Service Ceiling: 5,230 m (17,150 ft).
- Rate of Climb: Approximately 5.1 m/s (1,010 ft/min).
- STOL Performance: Known for its short field performance, with a ground roll of approximately 251 m (825 ft) at maximum weight, ideal for unimproved strips.
- Cargo: Later models (A185F) included a large baggage area and the option for bubble side windows, a cargo pod (adding 300 lb capacity), or a spray rig (AgCarryall variant).
