1974 Cessna A185FSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1974 Cessna A185F (N1769R) presents a well-equipped and maintained example of the popular bush plane, showing 3,700 total airframe hours. The aircraft features a factory-overhauled Continental IO-550D-15B engine with only 275 hours since major overhaul, well below its 1,900-hour TBO. The panel stands out with a modern Garmin suite including a G600 NXi touchscreen primary flight display, G500 autopilot, G5 backup instrument, dual GNC comms (225/335), GMA 175 audio panel, and full ADS-B Out capability with WAAS/LPV/SVT functionality.

Recent investments include fresh paint and interior, complementing the aircraft's clean history with no known crashes or damage (though rudder skins were replaced in 1980). The float kit installation enhances its utility for backcountry operations. Logs are complete from new, documenting what appears to be a well-cared-for airframe with excellent pedigree. The seller emphasizes a transparent sales process requiring buyer inspection by an FAA-licensed mechanic prior to purchase, with all transactions handled through escrow. Priced at $315,000, this A185F combines modern avionics with proven airframe reliability.
