Cessna 182R Aircraft in Washington
Washington State has the Pacific Northwest's GA hub at Boeing Field (Seattle), Renton and Paine Field. Boeing's home market means significant aviation infrastructure including overhaul shops and specialty service centres. Flying terrain ranges from coastal to high-desert (Yakima/Tri-Cities) to mountain (Cascades).
The Cessna 182R is the early-1980s Skylane — among the last of the original Continental O-470 carbureted run before Cessna's 1986 single-engine production halt. Performance mirrors the other O-470 Skylanes (~140-145 kt, four adults, 1,000-lb-class useful load); its appeal is a late, well-sorted example of the classic carbureted Skylane at a lower entry price than the fuel-injected 182S/T that followed the restart.

Choose the R182 Skylane RG for retractable-gear speed at the cost of added gear maintenance. Choose the T182 / TR182 if you regularly fly high or out of high-elevation airports and need turbocharged performance. | 2 |

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.
Consistent with all O-470 Skylanes: approximately 12 gph, moderate O-470-U overhaul cost, standard fixed-gear annual inspection. As one of the youngest O-470 Skylanes, the 182R typically needs less one-time reconditioning than earlier letters. Ongoing costs afterward are among the lowest for a 230-hp four-seat piston single.
