A cargo pod that can carry an extra 300 lb (136 kg) can also be fit under the fuselage. The Cessna 185 is widely used in bush flying, commercial transport of passengers and freight to remote austere airstrips and floatplane and ski-plane accessible lakes and snowfields, mainly in Canada and Alaska.
