Cessna 182P Aircraft in Canada
Canadian-registered aircraft (C- prefix) operate under Transport Canada certification standards similar to FAA but with specific differences in maintenance, equipment, and operations. Canadian aircraft frequently transact cross-border to US buyers; import process requires FAA airworthiness re-certification and possible equipment changes.
The Cessna 182P is the Continental O-470 era of the Skylane (1972-1976) — the variant buyers choose when they want classic 230-hp 182 capability without the fuel-injection and price premium of the later Lycoming-powered 182S/T. Simpler systems and steam-gauge panels keep it well below a modern Skylane on price, while useful load and a ~140-kt cruise stay close. The buy decision turns on age — most are 50-year-old airframes — so it hinges on O-470 cylinder and exhaust condition, corrosion, and how much avionics modernization you are willing to fund.

How much does a Cessna 182P cost? Used 182P prices: $169K – $249K, average $200K (median $200K); market reference $185K, across 5 priced of 3 active listings.
Key price factors: engine time to overhaul, year and airframe hours, avionics, damage history and logbook completeness — see the buying guide below for the full pre-purchase checklist.
The 182P's Continental O-470 economics are identical to all O-470 Skylanes - around 12 gph, reasonable overhaul cost, and an extensive parts network. As the youngest O-470 Skylane, the 182P typically needs less acquisition-time reconditioning than a 182D or 182M, though this varies by individual history. Fixed gear and no turbocharger keep the maintenance scope minimal. Annual costs are consistent with the broader O-470 Skylane fleet.
