1968 Cessna 182L SkylaneSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1968 Cessna 182L Skylane (N42285) presents as a well-maintained example with 6,400 hours total time on the airframe and a solid maintenance history. The Continental O-470R engine has 965 hours since major overhaul (completed May 2004), paired with a McCauley 2A34C66NP propeller showing 720 hours since its June 2014 overhaul. The aircraft features an IFR-certified panel with dual King KX155 nav/comms, Garmin GTX327 transponder, uAvionix Tailbeacon ADS-B Out, and an S-TEC 30 autopilot, along with a VFR-capable Garmin GNC 250XL GPS.

The airframe has remained nearly original with no major damage history, only a minor leading edge repair in 1980. Its 1999 repaint in white with green accents shows moderate wear (rated 5/10), while the two-tone brown interior presents serviceably (rated 4/10). With 84 gallons of fuel capacity yielding a 1,065 lb useful load, this Skylane offers practical cross-country capability. The complete logs and regular operation in both Arizona and Midwest climates support its airworthiness, currently based at Portage, WI (C47) and ready for immediate summer travel.
