1978 Cessna 182 Skylane

Description

The Cessna 182 Skylane is one of the most respected, trusted, and capable piston aircraft ever built - and this one lives up to the reputation. Clean, hangared, pride-of-ownership care, outstanding avionics, excellent load-carrying ability, long range and solid Skylane performance. Fast cruise, stable IFR manners, roomy cabin, and fixed-gear confidence that often means lower insurance and simpler ownership. This Skylane checks the boxes pilots care about.

This aircraft is also equipped with a modern avionics stack including GPS navigation, ADS-B capability, autopilot, engine monitoring and a cockpit designed for real traveling. It is a serious cross-country airplane that is equally happy being flown locally or taking your family and bags several states away.
