The
Exhilarating Skylane 182
Sure. There are all kinds of rational, cognitive reasons to decide that
a Cessna Skylane is right for you – things like an exceptional blend of
speed, range, safety, capability, price, and cost of ownership. But why
not strap in, fire up all 230 horses and trust your feelings instead? This
mighty aircraft lifts an impressive 1,113 pounds of useful load, climbs to altitudes
in the high teens and cruises at 145 ktas (167 mph). The 87-gallon usable fuel
supply can take you nearly 1,000 nautical miles and keep you aloft for nearly
eight hours. So use your head, your heart or even your gut to scrutinize
the Skylane. It doesn’t really matter. You’ll arrive
at the same conclusion as the other 25,000 plus Skylane owners. And once
you do, you and three friends will arrive at just about any destination with
smiles on your faces.
The Invigorating Turbo Skylane T182T
First, take the four-passenger aircraft chosen by more
pilots as their personal favorite than any other. Then,
elevate its performance to a higher scale with an
agile 1,040 feet-per-minute climb. The advanced
slope-controlled turbocharger enables this hard charger
to ascend up and over unfriendly weather, terrain
and traffic. The Turbo Skylane carries full-rated
power all the way to a max operating altitude of
20,000 feet. There you’ll cruise the
clear, smooth air at speeds of up to 176 ktas (203
mph). Yet even with such breathtaking performance,
you’ll still breath easy with a standard four-place
oxygen system. Not to mention the added safety
of a heated propeller and the enhanced situational
awareness of the Garmin G1000 flight deck. |
