1983 Cessna T182
Single Engine Piston
Aircraft Details
Seller reportedDescription
A very rare Cessna T182 Turbo Skylane (1983), registration OE-KSI. This aircraft combines the robust fixed gear Skylane airframe with a Lycoming O-540-L3C5D (235 HP) engine, a configuration typically found in the retractable gear R182RG. Unlike conventional turbocharged aircraft like the 206 or the 210, this aircraft uses the turbo-normalizing system, maintaining sea-level manifold pressure at altitude without excessive thermal stress. This results in improved engine longevity, operational simplicity and efficient high-altitude performance. The result is a highly desirable combination: - robust and low-cost fixed gear airframe - efficient and durable Lycoming powerplant - improved engine longevity and reduced complexity A rare Cessna factory build configuration appreciated by knowledgeable pilots, offering strong IFR capability and excellent cross-country performance. Airplane time state: TTAF: approx. 3665 hours Engine: Lycoming O-540-L3C5D (235 HP) SMOH: approx. 1750 hours Engine overhauled in 2002, regularly maintained with full documentation and complete logbooks TBO: 2400 hours under approved Part-ML / IHP maintenance program (on-condition operation beyond TBO possible) Compressions: 70 78/80 (all cylinders, detailed values available) Propeller: approx. 520 hours since overhaul Governor: approx. 110 hours since overhaul Engine runs smoothly with no abnormal findings.
