Each day, the team at Aircraft For Sale picks an airplane that catches our attention because it is unique, represents a good deal, or has other interesting qualities. You can read Aircraft For Sale: Today’s Top Pick at FLYINGMag.com daily.
Ever since its introduction in 1956, the Cessna 182 Skylane has been a classic, well-rounded contender, offering pilots ruggedness, reliability, significant useful load, and short-field prowess. Pilots who train for their private pilot certificates in smaller, less-powerful Cessna 150s and 172s often step up to 182s to get more utility with similar stable, forgiving flight characteristics as their training aircraft.
This Cessna 182R Skylane has 5,706 hours on the airframe and 1,850 hours on its Continental O-470 engine, which is rated at 230 hp. The panel includes an Apollo GPS, Bendix/King KT 76A transponder, ADS-B, dual Bendix/King KX 155 nav/coms, Bendix/King ADF and DME, and a PS Engineering PMA7000M-5 audio panel.
Pilots who are in the market for a hard-working, high-performance four-seater with a good combination of speed, range, and load-carrying capacity that is easy to fly, should consider this 1983 Cessna 182R Skylane, which is available for $172,000 on AircraftForSale.
You can arrange financing of the aircraft through FLYING Finance. For more information, email info@flyingfinancial.com.
