I know technically its rated for it but 3 g descents all day every day would sure be rough on the air frame after a while wouldn't it? In most cases these 182's and other piston airplanes at most drop zones are half a century old. I'd say it's more cost effective in the long run to save the frame, gyros etc. and come down nice and easy. I'm getting 2000-25000 ft per minute descent with a wings level nose down attitude.
