Cessna T182T SKYLANE

The Cessna T182T is the turbocharged Skylane — for owners who routinely fly high, hot, or over terrain and want the 182's load-hauling utility without losing power as they climb. A turbocharged Lycoming six-cylinder holds a 235-hp-class output and a roughly 150-knot cruise into the high teens, where a naturally-aspirated 182 is already running out of breath. The buy decision is whether your mission truly uses that altitude capability — because the turbo system is also this variant's defining cost and maintenance driver.
