Description

The 1980 Cessna 182Q Skylane remains one of the most respected and versatile piston singles ever built, combining legendary reliability, impressive useful load capability, and excellent short- and medium-range cross-country performance. Powered by the proven Continental O-470 engine (260HP), the 182Q offers a stable and confidence-inspiring flying experience, whether operating from paved runways, grass strips, or remote destinations. With its spacious cabin, large baggage area, and rugged airframe, this Skylane is equally at home as a family cruiser, business transport aircraft, or serious utility platform. Well-maintained examples continue to be highly sought after thanks to their strong performance, forgiving handling characteristics, and outstanding support network, making the 182Q a timeless aircraft investment and one of the most capable four-seat aircraft in its class.
