Description
This 1978 Cessna 182Q Skylane offers a compelling blend of proven reliability, modern avionics, and recent investment, making it an excellent choice for pilots seeking a capable IFR traveling aircraft. With just 107 hours since major overhaul on the Continental O-470, a Garmin-equipped flight deck featuring dual GTN navigators, dual G5s, and a GFC 500 digital autopilot, this Skylane delivers the functionality and situational awareness many buyers are searching for today. The addition of a Micro Vortex Generator kit enhances low-speed handling, while the Supercharger STC and other thoughtful upgrades help set this aircraft apart from a typical 182. Always hangared, supported by complete logbooks, and fresh off a February 2026 annual inspection, N73211 represents a well-equipped, turn-key platform equally suited for weekend adventures, serious cross-country travel, or regular IFR flying.
