The Cessna TR182 is a turbocharged, retractable-gear variant of the classic 182 Skylane, offering enhanced speed, range, and climb performance. Powered by a Lycoming O-540-L3C5D engine with a turbocharger, it reaches a cruise speed of around 170 knots and a range of over 900 nautical miles. Its retractable landing gear reduces drag for improved efficiency, while the high-wing design provides excellent visibility. With seating for four and a well-equipped cockpit, the TR182 is ideal for pilots seeking a blend of power, reliability, and cross-country capability.

Introduced in the late 1970s, the Cessna TR182 was developed as a turbocharged alternative to the popular Skylane 182, with retractable landing gear for improved speed and aerodynamics. Designed to appeal to pilots needing higher altitude performance and greater efficiency, it became a favorite for personal and business travel. Though production ended in the mid-1980s, the TR182 remains highly regarded in the general aviation community for its blend of power, speed, and versatility.
