1977 Cessna 182Q SkylaneSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1977 Cessna 182Q Skylane (N735VH) presents a well-maintained example with 3,264 total airframe hours and a low-time Continental O470U engine showing 731 hours SMOH. The aircraft boasts excellent engine health with recent compression readings of 76-77 across all cylinders. With a dry-country history spanning Arizona, Colorado, and Oklahoma since new, it features shiny paint and a clean interior, showing clear pride of ownership from its retired airline pilot owner. The logbooks document only minor damage history - an aileron repair in 2004 and some barely visible hail dings.

The avionics suite includes ADS-B Out, dual KX-155 and MX-300 comm/nav radios, dual VOR, DME, and a transponder, along with a Cessna Nav-O-Matic 300 autopilot. Recent annual inspection was completed by a top Phoenix shop, and the aircraft comes with wheel pants (currently removed). The seller emphasizes the aircraft's dry-climate preservation with photos available of the wing interiors. This 182Q is offered with a straightforward sales process that includes a $10,000 refundable deposit and requires buyer's inspection prior to purchase.
