Description
Detailed Description AUCTION - This 1975 Cessna 182P has been upgraded well beyond a stock Skylane. The Texas Skyways 280 HP IO-520 conversion and 3,100-pound gross weight STC provide a substantial increase in performance and payload, while a Hartzell three-blade propeller helps make the most of the added horsepower. Beyond the engine conversion, Texas Skyways performed the replacement of all cylinders and piston pins in January 2020, adding to the aircraft's maintenance pedigree. With just 1,132 hours since major overhaul, a March 2026 annual inspection, and an IFR panel featuring Garmin avionics, ADS-B Out, autopilot, and engine monitoring, N1542M is an exceptionally capable and thoughtfully upgraded 182P. This aircraft starts an online auction on August 5th, 2026.
