The Cessna Skylane was a popular all-arounder from its mid-1950s introduction. For several decades the Cessna 182 Skylane had been an ideal step-up aircraft for pilots who want a boost in power and performance over the trainers used in their flying clubs. 

This 1983 R182 has 5,700 hours on the airframe and 200 hours on its engine. The aircraft is equipped with a Tanis engine pre-heater and Robertson STOL kit. The IFR panel includes dual Bendix King KN 155 nav/coms, Bendix King DME, KT 76 transponder with ADS-B Out, PS Engineering PMA7000 audio panel, and MVP-50 monitor. A new interior was installed this year. 

Pilots who want the all-around capability that the Cessna 182 is known for should consider this 1983 182R Skylane, which is available for $215,000 on AircraftForSale.com.
