Description

If looking for the perfect iconic Cessna 182Q Skylane... look no further! N97875 boasts a new paint job, wonderfully upgraded avionics panel (see full specs list below), generous useful load, and numerous other upgrades. This 182Q Skylane II includes complete and continuous logbooks and has undergone a ton of recent TLC. In October 2020, the tail was struck by a snow plow, necessitating repairs by the highly respected Beegle Aircraft Service in Greely, Colorado. The initial repairs (completed January 2022) encompassed the vertical fin, horizontal stabilizer, and elevator, and following the repair a full assessment was conducted on the aircraft and RH wing spar corrosion was identified. The RH wing was then replaced in October 2022. Following these repairs the plane went to Crider Aircraft Painting for a fresh paint job, which was completed June 2023. A plastic wingtip cap was also replaced in 2025 due to a crack in the cap. According to the seller it now flies truer and smoother than it did before the snow plow incident thanks to all the extensive work! Current owner is looking to step up to a Cirrus SR22 following the sale. In the mean time, it is being actively flown and has been meticulously maintained. The Cessna 182Q is truly the "sweet spot" in the Skylane market and this excellent example can be made yours today!
