Description
Engine & Prop
Air Plains IO-540-AF1A5 260HP fuel-injected engine conversion.
Overhauled April 2023 - just 136 hours since overhaul.
The Air Plains conversion delivers noticeably stronger climb performance, improved smoothness and excellent cruise capability, making this one of the most desirable R182 configurations available.
Avionics
The panel has been extensively modernised, featuring:
- dual Garmin G5 electronic flight instruments
- Garmin GFC 500 digital autopilot
- Garmin GNC 355 WAAS GPS/COM
- GTR 225 COM
- Lynx NGT-9000 ADS-B In/Out transponder
The vacuum system has been removed, providing a cleaner, lighter and more reliable avionics suite.
Interior
Neat four-seat leather interior in good overall condition.
Exterior
Finished in a classic green and cream Cessna colour scheme, the aircraft has timeless ramp appeal and presents as an honest, well-cared-for example.
Additional Features
This exceptionally well-equipped 1978 Cessna R182 Skylane RG combines the versatility of the retractable Skylane with a host of premium upgrades, making it a standout touring and IFR aircraft.
Powered by the desirable Air Plains 260HP fuel-injected engine conversion with just 136 hours since overhaul, this aircraft also features a three-blade propeller, Garmin GFC 500 digital autopilot, dual Garmin G5s, Garmin GNC 355 WAAS GPS/COM, GTR 225 COM and Lynx NGT-9000 ADS-B In/Out transponder. The vacuum system has been removed, while a wet wing conversion eliminates the original fuel bladders for improved long-term ownership.
With 5,877 hours total airframe time, a very extensive recent annual inspection and an excellent avionics suite, this is an outstanding opportunity to acquire one of the best-equipped R182s on the market.
