1965 Cessna 182H Skylane

This 1965 Cessna 182H Skylane (N8482S) is a clean, comfortable, and cross-country-ready aircraft with tasteful upgrades and strong mechanicals. The airframe has 4,560 total hours, powered by a Continental O-470-R showing 920 hours SMOH, with a recent cylinder IRAN including re-seated valves, honed cylinders, and new rings for smooth, reliable operation. The McCauley 2A34C203-G propeller is also time-matched since new.

Inside, the aircraft boasts a custom handcrafted leather interior completed in 2025, with diamond-stitched seating, sculpted foam, new headliner, crown insulation, and refined detailing that sets it apart. The white and royal blue paint (2002) remains in very good condition, with the aircraft always hangared. The overall presentation is 10/10 inside and 8/10 outside.

Avionics include Garmin GPS-155XL with MD40 CDI, King KX-155 NAV/COMM, KY-97A COMM, Narco AT-150 transponder, Century I wing-leveler autopilot, KMA-24 audio panel, 4-place intercom, and more. While fully functional, the avionics also present a blank slate for your upgrade path, with fresh wiring and antenna installations completed July 2025.

Extras and STCs include a Petersen MOGAS STC, Brackett air filter, Airwolf remote oil filter kit, Door Stewards, Reiff engine pre-heater, and wheel pants. Included with the sale: fresh IFR pitot-static/transponder certification, labor-free uAvionix skyBeacon ADS-B Out install (buyer supplies part), and optional ferry/transition training.

This Skylane is not a “lipstick” airplane—it’s been carefully maintained and prepared for the next owner to fly and enjoy immediately, with complete logs since new. Always hangared, privately owned, and freshly annualed in July 2025.
