You will most probably find a placard in the cabin that says something about intentional spins being prohibited. Are you qualified to do aerobatic flying? You need to find an instructor who is, and a plane that is designed for the purpose. If you do any aerobatic flying in a plane not certified for the job then you will be kicked out of the flying club very quickly, if you don't kill yourself first.<br><b>References : </b><br>Aircraft Engineer Neither of these aircraft are designed for any kind of aerobatics.

Then you will know the operational limits of the aircraft. Any maneuver exceeding 60 degrees of bank or 30 degrees nose up or down attitude requires a parachute. Loops are out of the question and so are barrel rolls unless you happen to be Bob Hoover. Spins are allowed in the 172 provided you load the aircraft correctly, but spins are prohibited in the 182. If you want to do aerobatics, there are places you can go to get instruction in them in aircraft that are certified to perform them. Cessna are not designed for aerobatics, nor are they any good at doing them so don't waste your time and possibly your life.<br><b>References : </b><br> Read the POH, as you should have done already if you plan on flying these aircraft.

Be sure to tell the flying club of your plans, as they may not be in favor of you pushing the aircraft to its operational limits. Thrill-seeking pilots kill themselves a lot, and they take expensive aircraft with them. If you want to do aerobatics, get instruction in that specifically from a qualified instructor, in an aircraft built specifically for that purpose.<br><b>References : </b><br> Neither aircraft is certified for aerobatics.

The 172 can do spins, chandelles, lazy eights, and wing overs in the utility category; but nothing that exceeds a 90 degree angle of bank. Don't do any maneuver that you haven't been trained to do.<br><b>References : </b><br> No, they cannot do any inverted maneuvers legally.
