1979 Cessna 182Q SkylaneSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1979 Cessna 182Q Skylane (N96725) presents an opportunity for buyers seeking a project aircraft with solid bones and desirable avionics. The airframe shows 4,750 total hours, while the Continental O-470U engine has 1,057.4 hours since major overhaul (SMOH) against a 2,000-hour TBO - though the listing notes it will require a new engine. The propeller also shows 1,057.4 hours since overhaul. The aircraft comes with a well-equipped panel featuring a PS Engineering PMA 7000 audio system, Garmin GNS 400 WAAS GPS/nav, dual Garmin SL30 comms with glideslope capability, and a GTX 345 ADS-B transponder with in/out capability.

The airframe includes practical upgrades like LED nav/strobes, an 89-gallon long-range wet wing fuel system, and rudder trim. Condition assessments rate the exterior at 3/10 and interior at 7/10, suggesting the cabin is in better shape than the outer surfaces. The aircraft will require a new annual inspection in addition to the engine replacement. Logbooks are available for review including airframe, engine, and propeller records. The seller notes this as a project opportunity with CAP radios/antennae excluded from the sale.
