Inside The $700,000 Cessna 182 Turbo Skylane

Inside The $700,000 Cessna 182 Turbo Skylane Plane This is the Cessna 182 Turbo Skylane, the turbocharged version of legendary 182 Skylane single-engine piston plane that has been in production since 1956. The Wichita company says it updated the venerable four-seater with the latest Garmin G1000 NXi avionics suite, new interiors, an in-cabin oxygen system, and a heated propeller. Power comes from a Lycoming TIO-540 engine with a Hartzell Engine Technologies turbocharger that generates 235 horsepower up to 20,000 feet. The base purchase price for a new Cessna 182 Turbo Skylane is $650,000 before options, but maintenance is typically more affordable and can offset some of the purchase cost when compared to similar aircraft. Since it’s a smaller plane you can rent a hanger for a relatively low price, and a Turbo Skylane in good shape (and being flown properly) isn’t likely to need a lot of frequent repairs. They’re durable and reliable, often going two or more annuals without any issues. While the total fixed cost is roughly $60,000 to $100,000 per year, the average hourly operating cost is estimated at $200 to $300.
