When we went to look at the 182 that we now own the company that owned it used it as an instructor plane, for advanced pilots. It is considered a "high performance" aircraft. and it was used to teach at that level. They had a neat rig in the back, in the cargo area. They had a ice chest with 4 bags worth of ice in it, and fans and duct work to blow ice cooled air on the front two seats. It was great for sitting on the ramp and going over the instruments and to use as the classroom and not die from heat soak.
We removed it, as it is not the type of flying we do. After the preflight, we get in an go. No practice, just get to the task, and back to the ground for the fuel pumps, and put it away. We prefer to always have full tanks in the morning and fill up after a flight.
