1979 Cessna R182RG SkylaneSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1979 Cessna R182RG Skylane (N783SC) presents a well-equipped, low-time example of Cessna's retractable-gear turbocharged single with only 4,405 total airframe hours and 630 hours since major engine overhaul. The Lycoming O-540-L3C5D engine (235 HP) benefits from a recent overhaul by Mena Aircraft Engines, paired with a McCauley 2-blade constant speed propeller with 2,076 hours since its own overhaul. The panel stands out with dual Aspen 1000 EFIS primary flight displays, a Garmin GNS530W WAAS GPS, Century 2000 autopilot with altitude preselect, and a comprehensive suite including a Garmin SL-30 nav/com, WX-500 Stormscope, and digital engine analyzer.

The aircraft features several STC'd modifications including R.M.D. Aircraft lighting upgrades, Whelen LED anti-collision lights, and Wilco wing-mounted inspection mirrors. The Matterhorn White exterior with blue and khaki accents complements the mocha leather interior, both rated 6+ to 7 condition. With a useful load of 1,087 lbs, 90-gallon fuel capacity, and complete logs since new showing no damage history, this IFR-ready Skylane offers strong mission capability. The avionics package is particularly noteworthy with its dual Aspen displays, Garmin stack, and backup instrumentation including a Dynon D2 portable attitude indicator.
