Cessna N71286

This 1969 Cessna 182M is an excellent workhorse platform for an owner who values reliability, capability, and modern systems over cosmetics. The big-ticket items have already been addressed, making this aircraft an outstanding candidate for continued utility flying or for someone who wants to personalize paint and interior to their taste without worrying about mechanical or avionics investments.

Powered by a newly installed engine with only 30 hours since new, this Skylane offers strong performance and long-term peace of mind with a 2,400-hour TBO. The aircraft has also received a major avionics upgrade, transforming it into a highly capable IFR platform with modern Garmin equipment and a digital autopilot.

Cosmetically, the aircraft would benefit from paint and interior refurbishment, which is fully reflected in its positioning. Mechanically and electronically, however, the heavy lifting has already been done.
