when i land if rolling between 60 and 35 mph, i get heavy vibrations coming from the front wheel, if i pull the yoke relieving pressure from the front wheel, vibration goes away if i let go the yoke vibration is present and when it slows down vibration goes away.

jack up the nose and see how much play is in your dampener by moving your nose wheel to left and right.If so remove your dampener,pull off your snap ring and fill with 5606.any cool a&p should hook you up for free......10 min job!

I am sure you could, however, you might not get too far. I am sure the Capt of the aircraft carrier would deny you access to his/her ship. If you just tried to land, you would probably be shot down before getting there. Even if you were authorized, you might be able to stop before falling off the ship. Since the Cessna probably wouldn't have the tail-hook, then the Cessna would have to stop pretty quickly. Also, it would depend on how far away the ship was at sea. And you would have to know where the ship was located to know where to go. If all that did work out, then I guess it could. Also, keep in mind, its a film. If you want to land a Cessna on an Aircraft Carrier, write it in the story. If your story gets made into a movie, the scene will happen, whether real or not. Look at all the movies out there, the stunts that are performed is all done in the editing room. Yes, they do the stunts, but usually it takes a few takes ,and then they piece together the end result.

Yes, all of these answers are correct, but the real solution is just to keep back pressure on the yoke until you slow down. Doing this will also put less wear on your nosewheel components, and give you the smooth ride you're looking for. Does it fix the problem? No, but it alleviates the symptoms. A&Ps are expensive, and it's not a real huge safety issue unless it gets too bad to interfere with your ability to control the aircraft.
Long landing rolls and extra back pressure will go a long way toward extending the life of your nosewheel.

Sounds like typical Cessna shimmy dampener problem. Have it and the whole strut inspected. If its not in too bad a shape, the dampener can be rebuilt, the rebuild kit is pretty cheap especially compared to a new dampener, about $600-800.

Sounds like a nosewheel shimmy. The shimmy dampener could be faulty or need adjustment. It's mounted on the nose gear and looks like a little piston. Its function is to absorb vibrations on the takeoff or landing roll and prevents them being transmitted throughout the airframe.
When you pull back on the yoke you are decreasing the weight on the nose gear, making the shimmy less noticeable. Conversely if you were to push forward you would be increasing the weight on the nose gear and it would get worse.
Also get the rim and tire checked to make sure it's properly balanced.

Shimmy dampeners being out of whack are the most common cause for the vibrations you are describing. If the vibrations go away when you take pressure off the nose wheel, it definitely sounds like a shimmy dampener needs adjustment or replacement. If you want to visually inspect it, its a small hydraulic cylinder located on the starboard side of the nose wheel.

What year is your 182?
We use two of them at our skydiving club. Sometimes we have the same problem. After you land and hit the breaks, the nosewheel starts to go nuts. I think it needs rebuilt or inflated more.
I'm not a mechanic but I've experienced the same thing quite often.

could be a combination of things, shimmy dampener, wheel bearings, strut inflation improper, worn steering linkage. Have an experienced A&P take a look at it.

A flat spot is unlikely since there are no nosewheel brakes. It is most likely a shimmy damper that is loose or needs servicing or loose scissor links that need new bushings or re shimming.

Sounds as if the front tire has flat spotted it is not hard to pull down on the tail section and lift the front wheel up to spin it and see how out of round it is. Just sitting a long time can dammage the tire.
