MAGAZINE QUALITY. TURN-KEY, ZERO-SQUAWK SKYLANE - READY TO FLY This 1975 Cessna 182P Skylane has received close to $100,000 in upgrades in the past 12 months, including brand new custom paint, complete Garmin avionics suite, and a fresh annual inspection. There is nothing to do but fly. WHY THIS AIRPLANE: 1. BRAND NEW PAINT (June 2026): Full strip and custom repaint with ceramic coating. Navy blue and white with flowing accent striping - a head-turner on any ramp. New windows, frames, and LED lighting throughout. 2. ALL-NEW GARMIN AVIONICS (June 2026): GTN 650Xi touchscreen navigator, GTX 345 with ADS-B In/Out, GFC 500 autopilot with electric trim. This is a modern, fully integrated panel with LPV approach capability, traffic and weather on the panel, and autopilot envelope protection. 3. FRESH ENGINE WORK (May 2025): Six new Superior Millennium cylinders under warranty, with connecting rod and bearing service. The engine was thoroughly inspected during this work - cam, lifters, and crank journals all checked and documented. ~1,300 SMOH with fresh top end. 4.
