About the Cessna TR182

The Cessna TR182 Turbo Skylane RG is a four-seat, single-engine, retractable-gear piston aircraft with a turbocharged Lycoming O-540 engine. Burning approximately 12 gallons per hour, the TR182 combines the Skylanes rugged utility with retractable gear and turbocharging for improved speed and altitude performance.

Variable hourly costs average around $140, with annual fixed costs near $20,000. The TR182 appeals to pilots who want better cruise performance from the Skylane platform, particularly those operating at higher altitudes where turbocharging provides a meaningful advantage. The retractable gear adds speed while the turbocharger maintains power at altitude.

Buying a Used Cessna TR182

Every Cessna TR182 faces a mandatory 1,800-hour overhaul, so the single biggest factor in used price is how much time remains before that overhaul is due — a fresh-overhaul airframe can be worth a large share of the $32,000 overhaul cost more than one approaching its limit.

What to check before buying

  • Time to overhaul — hours and years remaining to the 1,800-hour limit; this dominates resale value more than total time.
  • Logbook completeness — continuous, gap-free maintenance records; missing logs cut value and complicate financing.
  • Damage history — any prior accident, hard landing or blade strike; cross-check the registration against accident databases.
  • Avionics — a glass panel vs steam gauges materially changes price.
  • Pre-buy inspection — always commission an independent inspection by a type-experienced mechanic before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cessna TR182

What is the Cessna TR182 and how does it differ from the 182?
The TR182 (Turbo Retractable 182, 1978-1986) adds retractable landing gear and a turbocharged Lycoming O-540 to the Skylane airframe. Cruise is 160+ knots — faster than the fixed-gear 182. Used prices of $80-140K. The retractable gear adds maintenance complexity and cost. For pilots who want 182 utility with more speed, the TR182 delivers, but the fixed-gear 182 is simpler and cheaper to maintain.
