PREFLIGHT RAMP APPEAL
BY ALICIA HERRON
QUICK LOOK
LOOKING TO BUY
A 182?
See how the Cessna
182 Skylane
measures up:
How much: For used
aircraft, prices range
from $80,000 to
the high $300,000s
and up for a 182
on amphibs. New
182s clock in at over
$500,000.
Buy it: If you want
to fly long distances
and take your friends
and family flying
anywhere from busy
airline hubs to grass
fields in the Idaho
backcountry.
Skip it: If you're a
tailwheel fanatic who
prefers ultralight
camping.
CESSNA 182
THE NEW AOPA SWEEPSTAKES AIRPLANE
MEET THE CESSNA 182 SKYLANE. A STEP UP FROM A CESSNA 150 OR 172, THE
Skylane can haul more, and fly higher, faster, and longer. With that added
ability comes some added power and complexity, and the pilot will need to
earn their high-performance endorsement and learn the basics of controllable
pitch propellers and cowl flaps. Notoriously nose heavy, these airplanes
take a little extra back-pressure especially during landing, and you'll have
to be more active with the trim. A transition from a Cessna 172 will take a
couple hours at most.
The best feature of the 182s is that they are very capable airplanes and
not overly specialized right out of the factory for a certain type of flying.
Cruising at around 139 knots and with a service ceiling high enough to get
you past the Rockies, they're great cross-country travelers and at home in
the backcountry. Skylanes can easily outhaul most tandem taildraggers but
still can fly slow enough and climb well enough, for extended camping trips
and wilderness adventures.
And great news: You can win a Skylane of your very own! The next
AOPA Sweepstakes airplane is this beautiful 1958 Cessna 182, which is in
the process of getting the resto-mod treatment. It'll keep its classic good
looks and get a panel upgrade that keeps its vintage aesthetics in mind. If
